Your past is history

Life is lived looking forward and learnt looking back, the two old Scholars Lelean Memorial School, Peni Veidreyaki and Epeli Lagiloa have been subjecting our super national 7s coach Ben Ryan to their 50 cents rugby tutorials in our local dailies as of late. They are both former successful national 7s coaches in their own right, but that is past and is history now, good reading though master Epeli’s articles FS April 24 whereby he specifically articulates his thoughts which he feels can contribute better to the preparations of our current in form Ben Ryan coached team. I would have preferred both of our former coaches to contact Fiji Rugby Union direct, so they both can make arrangements for the three of them to meet person to person and exchange ideas as our rugby can only win from such healthy constructive meetings, our current coach does not read and rely on media speculations as such. Master Epeli must respect and understand that the current proven and tested team in Ben Ryan, trainer Cawanibuka and Cathy Wong put together simply outweighs master Epeli’s CV, but no disrespect to him. I would like to ask my old scholar teacher to please apply those tactics to your current Tokatoka Westfield Dragons team, because as of late, their current success record in our local tournament leaves less to be desired relevant to your professional recommendations. In the composition of our many past and current Fijian 7s representatives, I must commend both Peni Veidreyaki and Epeli Lagiloa for their contribution and input to the developments of those many players that have made it through to the national teams in both 15s and 7s respectively. But right now leave Ben and his team alone, he knows what he’s doing and lets all stand by him, go get the Rio Gold Ben.
