Pro 14 rugby club-Edinburgh Coach Richard Cockerill has spoken highly of Fiji Airways 7s captain Kalione Nasoko and Eroni Sau who will join the club in the next season.
The club reported that the duo have signed a two-year contracts.
Cockerill says Nasoko a tremendous exciting player with the 28-year old a winger with experience at outside centre.
“Nasoko the Fiji 7s captain who plays winger. He’s very big and dynamic like Vereniki Goneva. He’s very powerful and a good finisher and brings something different to their back-three and will give them a bit more of an x-factor.”
“Nasoko is the Fijian Sevens captain. He’ll predominantly play as a winger, but he can also play at 13.”

He also says anyone who watched rugby 7s will know Sau.
“Eroni Sau speaks of himself. For anybody that have watched 7s will know him. He’s playing for Perpignan at the moment and played for the national 15 and his nickname the sledgehammer and you know what he does and holding the ball.”
?️ “The nickname of the The Sledgehammer speaks for itself. That gives you an idea of what he brings with and without the ball.”
