Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Osea Kolinisau has a lot of confidence in the 13 players that he has selected for the upcoming HSBC Perth 7s this weekend.

Kolinisau says a lot of work has been put in by the players leading up to this tournament and he believes the players he has selected will deliver.

With the return of forward Joseva Talacolo from injury, the team will surely receive a boost in terms of the aerial battle.

The side will be captained by utility back Filipe Sauturaga after forward Jerry Matana, who captained Fiji to Dubai and Cape Town, was ruled out due to injury.

Fiji will take on Uruguay at 3.22pm Friday in their first pool match, they will then play Kenya at 7.59pm Friday before facing New Zealand at 4.22pm Saturday in their final pool match.

The Men’s Cup quarter finals will kick off at 9.27pm Saturday, the semi finals will be at 7.05pm Sunday and the cup final will kick off at 11.35pm.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s will take on the USA at 4.06pm Friday in their first pool match, they will then play Canada at 8.21pm Friday before playing Great Britain at 6.19pm Saturday in their final pool match.

The Women’s cup quarter finals will kick off at 12.02am Sunday, the cup semi finals will start at 7.49pm Sunday and the cup final will kick off at 12.11am Monday.
