Digicel Fiji 7's coach Iliesa Tanivula said his side cannot afford to play catch-up rugby in the New Zealand 7's.
Tanivula highlighted that one of the major factors that led to their loss to New Zealand in Dubai and George, was the fact that they did not score first against their opponents.
At training yesterday, Tanivula again told his players the importance of staying in their right frame of mind and to be focused in following their game plan.
Tanivula highlighted that one of the major factors that led to their loss to New Zealand in Dubai and George, was the fact that they did not score first against their opponents but it will be different this time.
Fiji's toughest Pool opponent will be Australia, one of the most improved teams in the IRB 7's circuit.
Coach Michael O'Connor believes the group of players in his side, is one of their best prepared teams ever for any IRB 7's series.
Fiji is in Pool B with Scotland, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
Meanwhile Scotland coach Stephen Gemmell said they will be in to surprise many teams and Fiji is one of them who they will play in the opening pool match at 2:28pm.
Barring any upsets on Day One, Fiji will meet either New Zealand or South Africa in the Cup quarterfinal on Saturday.
