Osea Kolinisau has been tasked with taking Fiji to rugby gold at the 2028 Olympics after his contract as coach of the men’s sevens team was extended. The 38-year-old’s new deal will cover the next four years after he guided the Pacific islanders to the final of the Paris Olympics. Fiji took silver after going down 28-7 to the hosts at a packed Stade de France. It was Fiji’s only medal of the Olympics. Reaching the final was a dramatic turnaround after Fiji struggled last season on the world sevens series circuit. Kolinisau only took charge four months before the Games after Englishman Ben Gollings was sacked following a string of poor results.
