Fiji Airways Men’s 7s coach Ben Gollings

Fiji Airways Men’s 7s coach Ben Gollings is excited about the appointments of former national 7s rep Viliame Satala and two-time Olympic gold medalist Jerry Tuwai as assistant coaches and is looking forward to working with the two legends.

He says Satala is a well-respected member of the rugby community who represented Fiji in 7s and 15s as well as having a successful career playing overseas.

Gollings says Satala will be looking after the forwards as well as skills, support with talent identification and mentoring of players.

He says they have played together and against each other and have mutual respect and Satala will be a valuable asset to the team.

Gollings adds Tuwai is a fantastic player and he is keen on coaching as part of his future and they feel this is a good time to support his development and transition.
