As the Fiji 7s team prepares for the Dubai Sevens this weekend, coach Osea Kolinisau is emphasizing the crucial need for his players to execute their strategies with precision. With heightened expectations following their Olympic success, Kolinisau is focused on ensuring his team maintains its distinctive style of play while responding to the pressure that comes with being one of the top contenders in world rugby sevens.

Kolinisau stressed that teamwork would be at the heart of their approach, with a strong emphasis on defensive setups and attacking patterns. He expressed that the team’s ability to work as a cohesive unit is fundamental to their success, urging his players to demonstrate their skills and understanding of the strategies they’ve worked on in training. “We want to make sure everything we’ve practiced is understood and that we play to our level, showcasing the Fiji rugby style,” he said.
