Winning the HK 7s title is the only option now for Fiji Men’s 7s

Heading into the HSBC Hong Kong 7s this weekend, the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s side knows this is the crucial stage of the series and there is no other option but to win if they want to get back to the top of the points table.

Coach Osea Kolinisau says though they will be playing in a different stadium this year, it is still Hong Kong and the mindset remains the same as this will be huge for them.

Kolinisau says the Hong Kong 7s is like a home ground to the Fiji 7s and he hopes that the players will take it in.

Kolinisau went on to talk about the progress in the team especially with the young players blending in well with the experienced players.

He says he is happy that the young players are talking a lot now and they are coming out of their shells.

Kolinisau says all he wants from the players is good communication because it is essential in crucial games.
