Digicel Fiji 7s Coach Iliesa Tanivula believes the Suva International 7s will be tougher than some of the IRB 7s series.
After naming a powerful lineup to play in the three day tournament, Tanivula said he is expecting all of the 15 teams taking part in the Suva International 7s to be strong.
Tanivula added getting a chance to play against two Fiji sides, Waimanu and the Northern Sharks in the pool game will test the strength of his side and will show whether the players have what it takes to represent Fiji in Wellington.
Like in any sport, the Nadi man knows that his boys will have to deliver the winning results on Saturday evening.
Fiji's opening pool game is against Northern Sharks while the first game of the tournament between PNG and the Wardens is at 4.40 tomorrow afternoon.
Today at 3.30pm the 16 teams taking part in the Digicel Suva International 7s will parade through the city of Suva to Albert Park where the Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama will officially welcome them.
