Fiji National Men’s 7s Coach Ben Gollings is impressed with the team’s progress despite being ruled out of this weekend’s Malaga 7s.

The Englishman was due for his first HSBC Sevens Series as the coach for the Fiji National Men’s 7s team.

Gollings says the team has been adjusting well to his game plan and understands it will take time.

“To get a few first-hand of what they are doing and how they’re training. Just as I spoke about it, we are just starting to develop that relationship and jump in and out. It’s good to have a few chats when they are going through. Understanding the players, what they’re thinking and seeing.”
