Fiji 7s to focus on retaining and defending kick-offs in New York 7s

Fiji 7s to focus on retaining and defending kick-offs in New York 7s

The Fiji Airways Men's National 7s side will be working on retaining and defending kick-offs in the inaugural New York 7s this weekend.

Coach Osea Kolinisau highlighted this while speaking to fijivillage Sports from New York, saying Spain exploited their kick-off defence in their semifinal clash in the Vancouver 7s, scoring three quick tries from this.

Kolinisau says against Argentina, they had two kicks that did not go ten, and they paid dearly for it.

Kolinisau also spoke about their defence, saying the boys are trying to go in too hard, to make those big shots.

The Cup semi-finals will begin at 4.28am Monday, while the Cup final is scheduled for 8.41am.
