Fiji 7s focuses on lineout and attack ahead of Dubai 7s

Fiji 7s focuses on lineout and attack ahead of Dubai 7s

Lineouts and attacks are two key areas the Fiji Airways Men's National 7s team is working on as they prepare for the Dubai 7s later this month.

Head coach Osea Kolinisau says opponents often target Fiji’s lineouts and attacks, and he is focused on strengthening those aspects before the tournament.

Kolinisau says although Fiji enters the competition as defending champions, the tournament format has changed, with only eight teams competing.

He adds the top two teams from each pool will advance directly to the semi-finals, as the quarter-final stage has been removed.

The Dubai 7s will take place from 29th of this month to 1st December.
