Will Aim For Gold At Rugby Asia 7’s, Says India's New Rugby Head Coach Waisale Serevi
Jamaica National Sevens Rugby Team: Newly appointed head coach of Rugby India, Waisale Serevi is one of the most accomplished greats of the game. Renowned globally as the ‘King of Sevens,’ former Fiji national player Serevi faces one of his biggest challenges yet as he finds himself in a country where the sport is virtually non-existent.
In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Serevi spoke about how it was the deep-rooted relations between India and Fiji, that extend to centuries back, which played a huge role in his decision to join the Indian national team as the head coach of both the men’s and women’s national teams.
“A couple of 100 years ago, the Indian community came out to Fiji to help develop the country and then they started to work hard and started businesses in Fiji. According to me, when India came they helped our economy and helped the country, for me it did not take me long to decide to join India because of what India did for us, it was about time we helped them and what better way than to do it through the sport we love in our country,“ Serevi told IANS.
