Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Osea Kolinisau says they are trying to bring back the old way of playing rugby 7s the Fiji way.

Kolinisau says they are hoping to go out this weekend and show Dubai what Fiji Rugby is made of.

He says they want to maintain their set piece and defensive play because they know that all teams coming in this weekend are gunning for a win.

The Fiji 7s team has not won in Dubai since Kolinisau captained the side in 2015.

The 7s coach also wants to thank the fans for their support.

Fiji will take on Spain at 6.06pm tomorrow in their first match, they will then take on the USA at 9.52pm the same evening before they play NZ at 3.16am on Sunday in their final pool match.

The men’s cup quarterfinals will kick off at 6.48pm Sunday, the semifinals will start at 10.06pm Sunday, and the cup final will be at 4.11am Monday, December 2nd.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s side will take on Ireland at 5.44pm Saturday in their first pool match, they will then face Australia at 9.05pm the same evening and then play China at 1.13am Sunday in their final pool match.

The women’s cup quarterfinals will kick off at 5.20pm Sunday, the semifinals will begin at 9.12pm and the cup final will be at 3.35am next Monday.
