Tough Vancouver 7s!
WHILE Ratu Napolioni Bolaca’s return intensified the performance of the Fiji Airways Fiji men’s national 7s side, the side has a mammoth task on hand. The 27-year-old joined the national 7s side after eight months of recovery from a knee injury and his combination with deadly Terio Tamani was a delight to watch.
Bolaca captained the 7s side, and his leadership qualities stood out. The boys arrived in Canada a week before the kick-off, acclimatising to the weather conditions. Head coach Ben Gollings, Viliame Satala and the boys must prove critics wrong.
Teamwork rather than individual play must always be emphasised. Communication, making the right decision during crunch time, taking opportunities, and maintaining their cool, composure and discipline when under pressure will be critical for the boys.
I’m excited, anticipating a tough battle, but the boys to top the pool of death. We have a formidable squad and I’m looking forward to a solid display from Ropate Rere, Solomoni Rauqe and Viliame Naikausa.
RAJNESH ISHWAR LINGAM Nadawa, Nasinu ideal opportunity for our politicians, especially in Government, to take families and friends from their villages in remote islands for shopping trips to Suva and Nadi. They can do some drug surveillance while they go on shopping trips. Kill two birds with one stone, I suggest for no additional cost.
I have always maintained that a plane is only useful when it is in the air. It is useless when it sits on the tarmac gathering dust.
I have wondered how much the other private jet donated by our USA friends has been used by the Government. I hope it has not been sitting on the tarmac gathering dust for the past few months. The poor pilots would be bored shirtless sitting around doing stuff all. I have suggested that government ministers come to Sydney for shopping trips with their families, and I can always send things back for my club in Lautoka, just so that the plane does not start rusting. Please let me know.
Perhaps the minister can tell us how this plane has been used in the past few months, if at all.
