FIJI 7S SQUAD

Fiji Airways men’s 7s coach Gareth Baber says they have been working on their discipline as they prepare for the Hamilton tournament in New Zealand this weekend.

Baber says the discipline plays a major role in winning a match and the player are aware of it as they look forward to defending their title.

“We talked about mentally being in possession of control but also where you can pressure your opponent by physically winning the battle against them but that doesn’t mean you need to do it without being in the laws.”
