Two of Fiji's most revered rugby players have been appointed assistant coaches for the national sevens team.
The Fiji Rugby Union announced on Monday that 2005 Sevens World Cup winner Viliame Satala and two-time Olympian and gold medal winner Jerry Tuwai will be part of a new coaching set-up, with Englishman Ben Gollings.
Satala known as 'The Stretcher' during his playing days because of his bone-crunching tackles will focus on the forwards, skills and support with talent identification and mentoring of players.
While Tuwai will take on the role of player/coach to develop his coaching.
