Digicel Fiji 7's new cap, Timoci Matanavou is fully aware of the huge task ahead of him in this weekend's Hong Kong 7's.
Matanavou, the cousin of former national 7's winger Sireli Bobo, was selected after his impressive form in the Marist 7's where the national 7's selectors believe he will be the answer to the lack of speed out on the wing.
Speaking to Fijivillage Sports, the Ra lad said he is ready to give his best and the live up to the faith the coach has placed on him.
Meanwhile, New Zealand 7s captain DJ Forbes is confident that they will make it 5th in a row and won't get carried away by other teams fielding big names such as William Ryder, Marika Vunibaka and Australia's Andrew Walker to name a few.
The Hong Kong 7s starts on Friday. Fiji will play their opening match against Korea at 9:14pm.
