Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Osea Kolinisau is pleading for support as they prepare for the upcoming HSBC Perth 7s in Australia this week.

After a successful outing in the McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s over the weekend, Kolinisau says their focus has now turned to the Perth 7s which is the bigger picture for them.

He says the team is looking forward to this weekend’s tournament and all they need is the support and prayers of the people of Fiji.

Kolinisau further says they are also praying for good weather in Perth as they heard it is very hot there, and they just hope that it will suit them.

Fiji will take on Uruguay at 3.22pm Friday in their first pool match, they will then take on Kenya at 7.59pm Friday before playing New Zealand at 4.22pm Saturday in their final pool match.

The Men’s Cup quarter finals will kick off at 9.27pm Saturday, the semi finals will be at 7.05pm Sunday and the cup final will kick off at 11.35pm. Meanwhile, the Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s will take on the USA at 4.06pm Friday in their first pool match, they will then play Canada at 8.21pm Friday before playing Great Britain at 6.19pm Saturday in their final pool match. The Women’s cup quarter finals will kick off at 12.02am Sunday, the cup semi finals will start at 7.49pm Sunday and the cup final will kick off at 12.11am Monday.
