The Fiji Airways men’s 7s rugby team is fired up and ready to tackle the Perth 7s tournament, which takes place from January 24 to 26. Head coach Osea Kolinisau has set a clear ambition for his team: to clinch the series title. To achieve this, they aim to maintain their lead in the points table after successfully securing 36 points from their previous outings in Dubai and Cape Town.

Fiji’s strong start to the season sees them currently sitting at the top of the HSBC World SVNS Series standings, just ahead of Spain by four points. Kolinisau emphasized the importance of focusing on one tournament at a time, stating, “We must make sure to finish Perth still leading the points table.” His strategy is built around consistency and tactical execution, particularly in light of the tough competition they will face in Perth.

Captain Filipe Sauturaga also expressed confidence, noting that the conditions in Perth are not significantly different from those in Fiji, which should work to their advantage. Both Kolinisau and Sauturaga recognized that training under the hot sun at the Coral Coast has helped the players acclimatize quickly to Perth’s climate.

The Fiji team will kick off their campaign against Uruguay at 3:22 PM, followed by matches against Kenya and a highly anticipated game against New Zealand. The Fijiana 7s team will also compete, facing the USA and Canada, as well as Great Britain.

The upcoming tournament represents not just a chance for the players to perform at their best but also an opportunity to inspire future generations with their pursuit of excellence. Given their impressive performances this season and the strong team spirit, fans hold high hopes for what lies ahead for both teams in the series.

In summary, the Fiji men’s 7s team is poised for a successful performance in Perth, working diligently towards their goal of securing the series title and continuing their upward trajectory in international rugby. The blend of experienced players and fresh talent provides a potent mix of skill and determination that fans are eager to see shine through in the tournament.
