Following adjustments in the government’s approach to disbursing bonuses for the silver medalists from the Paris Olympics, it has been confirmed that the players have received their promised $20,000. The Ministry of Sports initially intended for the Ministry of Finance to send the money directly to the players. However, there was a proposal for the sum to be channeled through the Fiji Rugby Union. Head coach Osea Kolinisau has verified that the players have indeed received their payments.
In preparation for their upcoming competition, the Fiji men’s team is engaged in rigorous gym sessions as they gear up for the first event of the 2024-25 HSBC SVNS at the Dubai 7s tournament scheduled for November 30-December 1 at Sevens Stadium.
