Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s coach Osea Kolinisau has confirmed that the team for the first leg of the 2024/2025 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series will be announced after the Fiji Bitter Mataso 7s tournament this weekend.

Kolinisau said the selection will be based on how players perform in the two-day tournament.

He believes the Mataso 7s, known for showcasing top local rugby talent, is the perfect opportunity for players to show they are ready for national duty.

The coaching team will closely watch the players’ performances to help choose a squad that can succeed on the international sevens stage.

Kolinisau also mentioned that this is an important chance to assess the talent and readiness of the players.

The Fiji Bitter Mataso Nakorovou 7s will take place this Friday and Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka.

The Dubai 7s will be held from November 31 to December 1, while the Cape Town 7s will take place from December 7 to 8.
