Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Osea Kolinisau is receiving great response from the players and they know what is expected of them going into this weekend’s HSBC Hong Kong 7s tournament.

The no-nonsense coach shared how disappointed he was at the recent HSBC Vancouver 7s and said he was grateful that no one took a video of him talking to the players after their quarter final loss to South Africa.

Kolinisau says the players knew he was really disappointed about their performance and they knew they did not live up to the expectations.

He says sometimes they are overconfident, but the game was still yet to be played.

Kolinisau says they can't afford to be assuming things in the game of 7s and they are focusing a lot on their form and their decision-making, especially in crucial stages of a match.

Fiji will take on the USA at 4.48pm Friday in their first pool match, they will then take on Ireland at 7.58pm Friday before taking on Argentina at 4.11pm Saturday in their last pool match.

The cup quarter finals will kick off at 9.51pm Saturday, the cup semi finals will start at 7pm Sunday and the cup final will kick off at 11.46pm Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s will take on Ireland at 4.25pm Friday in their first pool match, they will then take on France at 7.35pm Friday before playing Great Britain at 3.25pm Saturday in their last pool match.

The women’s cup quarter finals will kick off at 9.01pm Saturday, the semi finals will start at 6.14pm Sunday and the cup final will kick off at 11.10pm Sunday.
