Swire Shipping Fijian Drua 7s captain Mesulame Dolokoto is excited and looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead of him as he leads the side at the McDonald’s Fiji’s Coral Coast 7s that kicks off tomorrow.

The Fijian Drua and Fiji Water Flying Fijians hooker says he has never really played in any local 7s tournaments ever since he left school.

Dolokoto says it will be an exciting challenge for his team as well especially coming up against the national 7s team and some of the teams from overseas.

When asked about having Fiji 7s legend and maestro Waisale Serevi as their coach, Dolokoto says he was telling the players that this is one for the memory books, getting coached by the legend himself.

The Drua 7s is in Pool B at the Coral Coast 7s alongside NZ Sevens 1, Seatle Barbarians and Colo West Barbarians.

The Coral Coast 7s will be held from tomorrow to Saturday at Lawaqa Park, Sigatoka.
