Fiji 7s players undergo gruelling trainings before selection

Fiji 7s players undergo gruelling trainings before selection

With 10 days left for Ben Ryan to pick his final 13 players to travel to the Rio Olympics, the players have been showing a never give-up attitude during their intense training.

Last week, Ryan was praising the players’ fitness and how things are going according to plan.

Fijivillage witnessed the brutal training sessions and how Ryan takes each player to the test from basic passing skills, offloads, one on one defence, communication, endurance, to testing their mental toughness while under pressure.

Ryan says Fiji is the only team in the world where players have more contact sessions within a week.

Toulon winger Josua Tuisova is expected to join camp this week.

The final team will be announced by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama next Friday.
