Vancouver 7s is very crucial for Fiji as table leaders – Kolinisau

The HSBC Vancouver 7s tournament will be the last stretch before the race for the series begins, and the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s side is treating it as a decider which is crucial for them in maintaining their lead on top of the points table.

This was highlighted by Fiji Men’s 7s Coach Osea Kolinisau who says the new boys have blended in well with the old players and he is glad they have stepped up to the call.

Kolinisau says he is reminding the boys that it will be a good buffer if they win the Vancouver 7s tournament, and Hong Kong 7s will take care of itself, as the tournament inspires every Fijian player to do well given the legends who have done Fiji proud in the amazing venue.
