How far apart do you have the cones? Or does it not matter?

The Sigatoka sand dunes are enormously steep and the sand is a bit looser (not much water in them), making it less stable and very hard to run up! Now you know how Fijian rugby players got lower body strength from, pumping hard out on the sand makes running on the pitch a breeze!

I cant recall correctly but I think it was Werner Kok who said that he thought he was very fit playing 15s and then realised just how brutal that fitness jump was into 7s. Mad respect to all 7s players. Mad respect to Fiji. 7s is the most physically demanding sport in the world

Been training up at the Sigatoka dunes with the local province team and mahn...during the training you just wanna tell ur self that u should quit drinking and smoking or even give up playing rugby😅...but somehow u always find the courage to do well...but after the dunes sessions u kinda go back to ur word and reward urself with a packet of cigarette and a couple of drinks😂...at the end of the day u just simply love running with the ball🤙

Could've at least taken their shoes off, but good to see Benny provide insight into Fiji 7s sand dunes training.

I always wonder why these Fiji rugby players legs look like granite more well defined than other country players so this is their secret.

You guys have my full respect for all this💯 but actually it don't come close to what you'll be experiencing in Fiji. Just to give you a small clue, you can almost kiss the sand when running straight up the sand dunes

Doing those drills in Fiji is harder by a few levels of brutality, try doing these drills in temperatures of 30+ degC and 80% humidity!!!

I can already feel the sand in my shoes and socks. Beach training is barefoot training lads, that's where you went wrong

If you dont have sand dunes available ... i thought he was going to say run up our road or something ... wasn't expecting 'Eiffel Tower'

I think they did the easy version of the dunes

Great effort lads ✊🏾

SIGATOKA DUNNES youll be kissing your knees coz of how steep it is and half your feet buried in the sand!! this was no way near what the Fijians went through.

well done boys!

Good on you Mate!

This sand dunes is nothing compared to the Sigatoka sand dunes where the fijian team trains. It's much more steeper and longer. And there is no moisture in the sand, It's dry and more loose

If you don’t have a sand dune at home just use the Eiffel Tower 🤷🏻‍♂️

Marty Deeks from NCIS LA lol

the first mistake was to wear shoes when training on the sand

This is nothing compared to the sand dunes in Fiji 🇫🇯 🤣

Not even close to what the Fijians had to go through

"If you don't have sand dunes then I've done stuff with the Eiffel tower" Ah yes cuz if I don't have access to sand dunes then by default I have access to the Eiffel tower

Grab your mind crack that's good fun work
