The Digicel Fiji 7s side hopes to do much better this time in Wellington, as they failed to win the New Zealand International 7s tournament in the last three years.

Last time they were crowned champions in New Zealand was in 2006 when Fiji defeated South Africa by 27 points to 22.

Coach Iliesa Tanivula said preparations have so far been quite well and he looks forward to a good outing next weekend.

Tanivula said they will have three days of training in New Zealand, so that he is able to work on his combination and iron out all the mistakes before their opening match against Scotland next week.

Fiji leaves for Wellington this afternoon at 4:30pm and the New Zealand International 7s tournament will kickoff next Friday.
