The Fiji Rugby Union has sacked Fiji 7s head coach Ben Gollings and replaced him with former Fiji 7s captain and 2016 Olympic Games gold medallist Osea Kolinasau.
The announcement was made this morning by FRU board chairman Peter Mazey at Rugby House in Suva.
Gollings’ axing comes after Fiji’s failure to win a title on the HSBC SVNS Series over 19 consecutive tournaments.
Mazey said FRU has been in discussion with Kolinisau since December last year, talking to him about his willingness to coach the team.
He said the decision to appoint Kolinisau was not made under duress.
Mazey said the FRU also players and staff to reaffirm the full support of the body.
Meanwhile, Mazey said they will soon announce an advisory group to help the Fiji 7s teams.
