Getting the basics right will add dimension to Fiji 7s attack - Koilinisau

Getting the basics right is important because a simple bad pass can cause the team to lose the tournament, and the Fiji Airways Men’s national 7s team is working on areas to improve on this.

This was highlighted by coach Osea Kolinisau after their training at Bidesi Grounds.

Kolinisau says they want to be brilliant with the basics.

He says the Vancouver 7s tournament has been an exciting venue, and the Fiji crowd has always stamped their mark at the grandstand and he is urging Fijians in Vancouver to come in numbers to support the team.

The Vancouver 7s will be held from next Saturday to Monday 24th of this month.
