The Fiji Airways men’s 7s rugby team is prepared for their upcoming debut at the Los Angeles 7s this weekend, marking an exciting opportunity for several debutants including Iliavi Masori, Lasaro Bogisa, and Aisea Nawai. Head coach Osea Kolinisau has made strategic adjustments to the squad, incorporating new talent due to injuries to prominent players, such as Jeremaia Matana and George Bose, who are sidelined.
The team’s recent success at the Singapore 7s indicates a strong momentum as they enter this new challenge. As both the men’s and women’s teams departed for the United States, fans are eagerly looking forward to their performances. The men’s team will kick off their campaign against New Zealand at 6:06 AM Sunday, followed by the Fijiana facing Australia later that morning.
Fiji’s rugby squads have a history of resilience and athletic prowess, and the mix of experienced players and newcomers creates a hopeful outlook for a successful tournament. The participation of novices alongside seasoned athletes not only reflects Fiji’s tradition of nurturing emerging talent but also increases the potential for impressive displays on the international stage. As these players prepare to prove themselves, this weekend promises to be a thrilling showcase of rugby.
