Boots And All | Waisale Serevi backs Fiji Sevens coach Gareth Baber and the Welshman can thank Hong Kong
Baber remains in favour despite a 2017-18 season that got away but fans and media already have one eye on Tokyo 2020
While he scratches his head in disbelief about a season that got away, Fiji coach Gareth Baber can rest easy knowing he’s got the support of arguably the country’s most influential man, and even the once-baying Fijian media.
“Personally, he is a good guy. He has his own game plan. He still has two more World Series and the 2020 Olympics in Japan to prove himself. I want to wish him well on what he’s doing,” Serevi told the Fiji Times this week.
But as he basks in the warmth that must come with being endorsed by the doyen himself, Baber will perhaps take even greater pleasure from the fact that even the Fijian media are behind him.
After being so quick to apply the clamps after the Welshman failed to notch a victory in his first four World Series legs in charge of the team, there has been no such doom and gloom in the wake of Fiji’s World Cup failure.
