Sevens flair Now we can see the Fijian flair and unpredictability back with the Fiji 7s team. The influence of the master, Jerry Tuwai, is obvious. Vinaka vakalevu Oscar Kolinisau and the team for restoring our faith.
Toso Viti, toso. SV Tuwai Nasese 7s rugby What is seriously going on with our 7s rugby? We used to be the undisputed kings of the field, but now we cannot seem to win a game to save our lives, racking up a lovely streak of 22 losses. The Fiji Airways national men’s team dazzled in the pool games of Madrid 7s but then completely falls apart when it counts, failing to make it to the Cup finals.
Where did we mess up? Some bright minds are pointing fingers at the referee who officiated the Fiji versus France semi-final. We have already blamed the former coach Ben Gollings, we have blamed the players, and now we are blaming the referees. Who’s next on our blame list? Maybe the physio and the water boys.
DINESH KUMAR Ba Not over yet What a joy and sweet revenge as our men’s 7s team defeated New Zealand twice in Madrid, Spain. While this brought joy and smiles for fans, unfortunately, the drought in not winning a tournament appears like a spell which we cannot seem to break. When will we overcome our fears and will this be at the 2024 Olympics? On the brighter side, the return of Jerry Tuwai appeared like a leader steadily guiding a flock and instilling more confidence.
For now, it’s a matter of patience and trusting our coaching team that come the Olympics the.
