Attack on Tusitala is personal – Ben Gollings

Fiji Airways Men’s 7s coach Ben Gollings has expressed his disappointment over social media posts and attacks on their new Strength and Conditioning trainer Etu Tusitala.

Some rugby followers have expressed their concern over Tusitala’s credentials after he joined the team earlier this year.

When questioned on Tusitala’s qualifications, Gollings says he will take this as a personal attack.

Gollings adds that when they see things like this pop up on social media, it does not only affect an individual, it affects the whole team.

Gollings further says that there are many ways of doing things as the sevens game continues to evolve.

Meanwhile the Fiji 7s team had their last training session at Lawaqa Park yesterday.

They are now in LA.

Fiji will play Wales in their first pool game of the LA 7s at 6.10am Sunday, they will then play France at 9.31am Sunday and their final pool game is against Ireland at 1.05pm Sunday.

The cup quarters will start at 5.13am Monday, the cup semis will start at 9.09am Monday while the cup final will start at 12.28pm Monday.
