Fiji Men’s National 7s head coach Osea Kolinisau sees the Fiji Under-18 Schoolboys program as crucial for developing high school rugby in the country.
The Fiji Schoolboys team has been chosen to play two test matches against an Australian team visiting the country later this month.
Kolinisau believes that the Fijian Drua franchise is an excellent way to produce elite players for the country.
He plans to observe the Fiji Schoolboys matches against the visiting Australian team and identify players to add to his camp.
Kolinisau intends to mix high school players with boys in the camp. This will give them opportunities if they can handle the top level of 7s.
FRU chair Peter Mazey confirmed that Osea Kolinisau has been re-appointed as the head coach. He will lead Fiji’s men’s 7s team for the next four years.
Kolinisau, who helped the national team win silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
