The Digicel Fiji 7s team wants to win this weekend's George 7s as a Christmas gift to the rugby public of Fiji.
Manager Jope Tuivanuavou said the players have been talking among themselves to have faith in each other as they will try to end their 3 years losing streak in George.
Tuivanuavou admits the side will not have an easy path to win the tournaments as all teams have prepared well.
Fiji last won in 2005 when it beat Argentina in the final by 21-19 and the two sides are pooled together this time around.
For the host country, winning the opening tournament in the 2008 and 2009 series in Dubai last week has boost their chances this weekend.
However Coach Paul Treu knows it will be difficult to win at home.
IRB leading points scorer Ben Gollings believes in the game of 7s rugby anything can happen and he has high hopes for England.
Fiji will kick-off their George 7s campaign with Scotland at 9.37 tonight, at 12.43am we play Zimbabwe and at 5.32am tomorrow they will take on Argentina.
