Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Ben Gollings

Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach, Ben Gollings has reflected on the 2005 World Cup Sevens and rated their semifinal loss against Fiji as one of the most intense and best games he played.

With the 7s World Cup set to start on Friday, the former English captain says having Viliame Satala and Sireli Bobo part of the national sevens coaching team has boosted the players preparations.

Gollings adds that most of the current players grew up idolizing Satala who is now part of their journey.

Fiji will begin their campaign in the Round of 16 against the winner of Wales and Korea at 4.05 am Saturday.

If Fiji wins, they will qualify for the quarter-finals.
