Fiji Airways Fiji Men’s 7s coach Osea Kolinisau says there is always pressure when anyone coaches Fiji 7s knowing the expectations and the standards that his players need to live up to when playing on the world stage.

Kolinisau says it is always tough selecting a squad especially when there is a lot of competition in the team which is also great.

Kolinisaus says there are a lot of young and new players in the squad and he wants to bring them in and to see how they do in the camp.

He says a lot of them have been playing sevens and one of them has been playing in the local Skipper Cup Competition and he wanted to mix it up a bit and see how they do against the guys that have been in the squad for a while now.
