Fiji Babas Coach, Osea Kolinisau says they will regroup and make sure they come back refreshed and in the right mindset, after they were pushed to the edge by Police Blue in their second pool game at the McDonald's Coral Coast Fiji 7s.

The Babas were lucky to come away with a 7-5 win over Police, with Kolinisau saying they need to work on their attack.

He says the team was going side to side and hoping for someone to make a break, instead of running their patterns, and changing the direction of their attack.

Kolinisau says moving forward their goal is to score first and also make sure that teams do not score before halftime.

The Fiji Babas take on the Nationwide Sydney Nadi side in their final pool game today at 1.42pm.
