Fiji 7s captain Osea Kolinisau will speak at a World Rugby Conference in London next month, as part of a panel discussing “Rugby Sevens Beyond Rio ‑ The Golden Opportunity.”

Kolinisau was Team Fiji’s Flag Bearer at the Rio Olympics and scored a try as Fiji thrashed Great Britain 43‑7 to win gold.

The 30-year-old will be joined on the panel by USA Sevens coach Mike Friday, World Rugby Head of Competitions and Performance Mark Egan and the Global Head of Sponsorship and Events at HSBC Giles Morgan.

Kolinisau is currently part of an extended Fiji 7s training squad preparing to begin to defend the World Series title in Dubai in December.

Meanwhile, Fiji Rugby Union CEO John O’Connor said interviews for the vacant coaching position are taking place this week with an appointment expected by the end of the month.
