Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Osea Kolinisau says a few players from the Yaro Chiefs will join the national 7s extended squad, including captain Wame Ratuva, who he praised for his leadership during the McDonald’s Coral Coast Fiji 7s.
Speaking to the media after their training session at Albert Park, Kolinisau says Ratuva led the team very well and after this leg, they will bring more players into the squad to see if they have what it takes to fight for a spot in the team for the final leg.
Kolinisau also highlighted that he has been in contact with Amenoni Nasilasila since he was released from prison.
He says he has told him to get fit and play more local tournaments.
The coach adds that Nasilasila is a total package player.
