7s Coaches Boost Fitness Training: Exclusive FBC News Report

Fiji 7s Coach Expresses Concern over Team Fitness

Osea Kolinisau, the Fiji Airways Fiji 7s coach, has voiced his concerns over the team’s fitness level.

Performance at the Hong Kong 7s

Unfortunately, the Fiji team was unable to advance beyond the quarter-finals in the Hong Kong 7s. They were defeated by New Zealand, with a score of 19-12.

Improving Fitness: A Top Priority

According to Kolinisau, improving fitness is a crucial area where the team needs to focus. This is especially important after their return from the Hong Kong 7s.

Progress Towards Objectives

Kolinisau, the former national skipper, emphasized that progress towards objectives is gradual but steady. As he declared, “In terms of fitness and mentality, we have to be strong enough and give our 100% in these types of situations.”

Fijiana 7s Coach Expresses Disappointment

In a similar vein, the Fijiana 7s coach, Saiasi Fuli, was not pleased with the team’s performance in their 33-7 defeat to the USA. The team easily lost possession, and their defensive shape was not up to par. Fuli remarked, “We have to go back and come back stronger in the next playoff.”

Upcoming 5th-place Playoff Games

Both Fiji teams are set to participate in the 5th-place playoff. The Fijiana 7s will face off against Canada at 6.32 pm, whereas the Fiji 7s will go head-to-head with South Africa at 7 pm. Both games can be watched live on FBC TV.
