The Digicel Fiji Sevens team left with high hopes for Hong Kong this morning as they try to claim the prestigious title which they last won in 2009.
The Setefano Cakau captained side is hoping to restore lost pride this weekend after falling short in the last two tournaments.
Fiji’s playmaker Metuisela Talebula will be playing at So Kon Po for the first time and he believes he has got what it takes to deliver.
The 20-year-old, who led Lelean Memorial School to two Deans titles in 2009 and 2010, ignored three lucrative contracts this year as he wanted to don the national jumper.
Talebula said he was inspired by a former national rep to be the best.
The national Sevens team is 5 points behind leader New Zealand on the overall points table with 87 points.
Fiji will play Scotland at 9:06pm this Friday before taking on France at 5:32pm and Australia at 10:14pm on Saturday.
