The Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s side has reviewed its performance from the Singapore tournament and is determined to achieve better results in Perth by improving their defence this week.

This was highlighted by Fijiana coach Richie Walker while speaking tom fijivillage News from Perth.

Walker says the team is aware of the areas that need improvement and emphasized that they must turn performances into wins by finishing on the right side of the scoreboard.

He added that he is pleased with how the team has been performing, particularly following their outings in Dubai and Cape Town.

Walker says he is impressed with the players’ efforts and believes there is still room for further improvement.
