The cold London weather has affected the Digicel Fiji 7's preparation ahead of the England 7's on Saturday night.

The current temperature is around 17 to 19 degrees Celsius with only 2 players in the 12 member team familiar with the atmosphere as they have played in London before.

Co-captain Emosi Vucago and Jerry Burotu were part of the team that lost to Samoa in the final last year while the rest of the players will be making their first appearance in the England 7's this weekend.

Coach Iliesa Tanivula believes this is just another obstacle his side will have to face as they try to win their second IRB 7's series tournament.

Tanivula said his side will have to get a good start from their opening pool game against USA as they have Scotland and Kenya awaiting them.
