Kolinisau’s hat-trick helps Fiji win two in a row in HK

Kolinisau’s hat-trick helps Fiji win two in a row in HK
Osea Kolinisau was the hero after he scored a hat trick of tries to help Fiji secure their 14th Hong Kong title in one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the tournament and to make two in a row after they beat Wales 26-19 in the final.

Kolinisau was relegated to the bench by Coach Alifereti Dere after he copped two yellow cards in the tournament.

And as you know that Kolinisau was not even picked for the NZ and USA leg when the coaches said that they wanted young players to be part of the team.

With 19 nil down at half time against Wales, Fiji came back firing in the second half with replacement player Osea Kolinisau scoring his first try after being set up by Emosi Mulevoro.

Kolinisau again displayed his sheer pace as he danced his way through two Welsh defenders before Samisoni Viriviri leveled the score after he touched down in the corner.

With two minutes remaining Kolinisau put the game beyond doubt with his third try.

Speaking after the tournament, Kolinisau said 7s legend, Waisale Serevi played a big part in their win.
