Former Fiji Airways Fijian 7s strongman Isake Katonibau says the Paula Dranisinukula-captained side can win the Hong Kong 7s this weekend.

“Nothing is impossible,” the Suva-based soldier said in Hong Kong yesterday when asked about Fiji’s chances.

“It’s simple because the boys just need to execute the game plan put in place.

“We are all supporting Fiji because we want our team to win it for the fifth year in a row.”

Katonibau highlighted that winning the Hong Kong 7s was something that was very dear to the hearts of all Fijians.

The Fijians, with eight players making their Hong Kong 7s de- but, are in the so-called “Pool of Death”, where they face New Zealand, Australia and Kenya.

Katonibau led the Mourant Fiji Army side at the GFI HKFC 10s tournament, where they won their pool opener 17-0 against Tigers yesterday

“We also requesting the support from all Fijians back at home to the Army side that is making its 10s debut and to our 7s team as well,” he added.
