“Lets trust the system we have in place “
Before the Digicel Fiji 7's departed for the opening leg of the IRB 7's series, those were the words of Fiji Rugby Union Chairman, Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga in assuring the sponsors and the rugby public that the new coaching philosophy will bear fruit in the future.
While the win in Gold Coast was what many believe the start of a new era in 7's rugby, the results in Dubai and South Africa yesterday was not expected by the Fiji 7's team.
Tikoitoga has made it clear that they have confidence in the new coaching model of running rugby.
Since the NZ, USA, Hong Kong, Australia, England and Scotland 7s tournaments, Fiji has managed only 1 win in the new season in Gold Coast 3 weeks ago before following the same path again with consecutive losses in Dubai and South Africa yesterday.
Now the attention turns to New Zealand who are joint leaders with Fiji on 51 points.
Fiji will meet Wales, Tonga and Argentina in the pool games in February.
