I just want to harness the way the Fijians play their style of rugby and I don’t want to play around with it too much.
These were the words of Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Ben Gollings.
This was after he was asked by fijivillage News about the comments made by former World Rugby 7s and Super Rugby referee Rasta Rasivhenge that Fiji has lost its flair and style of rugby.
While speaking during fijivillage Straight Talk with Vijay Narayan, Rasta mentioned that the flair that Fiji 7s rugby was known for over the years has faded away.
Gollings says he does not know what Rasta is talking about and that is his opinion but the area that the team is focused on is defence because that is one key area for them.
