Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Osea Kolinisau will use the McDonald’s Fiji’s Coral Coast 7s competition that is currently underway at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka to test the team’s combination before they head out for the HSBC Perth 7s next week.

Kolinisau says the bigger picture for them is the Perth 7s and the HSBC World SVNS Series and that's something they want to focus on.

He adds he wants to gauge the team’s understanding of their defensive shape, how they are good at one-on-one tackling and most importantly the players’ decision-making on knowing what to do in the field and learning to play what's in front of them and working hard.
