The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team will not be underestimating any opponent as they head into the HSBC SVNS Singapore 7s today.

Speaking from Singapore, coach Osea Kolinisau says the team does not want to jump to conclusions or worry about other sides beyond those they will face in the pool games.

He says the focus is on one game at a time.

Kolinisau says they want to make sure they treat every match as a final, as the series is on the line.
