Olympic gold medal-winning Fiji 7s Coach, Gareth Baber says he will talk to his family first in the United Kingdom and make the decision with a clear mind if the Fiji Rugby Union wants him to continue as the national 7s coach.
Speaking from Tokyo, Baber says he is going to see his family after 7 months, and he also has to decide on his life as a father and a husband.

Baber says the job is too important, he has completed the mission and it is important that the right decisions are made for Fiji 7s going into the future.

It is a busy 7s calendar for the last quarter of this year and next year.
The World Rugby 7s Series resumes in Canada with back to back tournaments in Vancouver and Edmonton in September this year, Singapore 7s in October, Hong Kong 7s in November, Dubai and Cape Town 7s in December.
We then have the Commonwealth 7s that will be held in England in July/August next year while the World Cup 7s will be held in South Africa in September next year.
With major tournaments like the World Cup and Commonwealth 7s coming up next year, hopes would be high for Baber to stay on.
Baber’s contract expires on December 31st this year.
Fiji Rugby Union CEO, John O’Çonnor says Baber has told them that he will return from the UK in the next 2 to 3 weeks. He says they will then meet with him to understand his intentions.
