The recent performance of our national 7s team seems to tell us that we are not ready for the Olympics.
Players are still undecided on how to play, and the coach does not have a platform of how to play in all aspects.
Without Rasaku, everyone thought that it would have been better, but the plays were still the same at the knock-out stages.
The pool games seem to be a roll over, but fitness is still the factor. Players performing well should have been kept longer but were replaced by inexperience players at the dying stages of the game. This takes away the impact of the game Fiji is well known for.
Also lacking is teamwork; players need to know each other well to produce better play and players need to stop being greedy. These factors cost us the game in many plays.
We can go on and on; some might say it’s the players’ fault and some would say it’s the coaches.
At the stage we are in, its everyone’s fault from the top.
