Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s head coach Ben Gollings is anticipating a good performance from the players that will be representing Fiji at the Pacific Games 2023 as he works towards selecting his players for the first leg of the 2023-2024 HSBC SVNS Series which will be in Dubai next weekend.

Gollings says selection is still open and he is keen to see how the boys perform at the event.
