Fiji Airways Men’s 7s coach Ben Gollings remains firm despite a winless run after 18 tournaments in the World Series.

In a zoom session with the media today, FBC Sports asked the national coach what he thinks about the calls for his removal.

A calm Gollings says he can’t control what people put out in the media or social media as he’s here to do a job.

He says if he’s worried about that then he’s not doing his job.

“I can’t control what people want to write and I’m not even looking at what they write, I’m not interested, it’s not within my best interest, my best interest is to look at what we can do here and how we can better things here so from my side I haven’t looked at what everybody’s writing, if that’s the case that’s everybody’s opinion.”

The former England 7s captain says he’s working with the team, Fiji Rugby Union and Manager High Performance, and the focus is on that.

“People always have opinion and it’s getting greater and greater now with the environment now around social media, they can say what they can say but they’re not inside the environment that we have, again to those people we can’t control that and it’s not for me to worry about.”
