Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s captain Jerry Tuwai says defence will be the key for them heading into their quarterfinal clash against USA in the Sydney 7s.

USA poses a lot of threat in their backline with 2016/2017 World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year Perry Baker already making his mark after Day Two by leading the try scoring tally in Sydney.

Baker has been outstanding and Tuwai believes they need to be on top of their game to beat this strong USA side.

Tuwai adds they will take each game as it comes.

Fiji will take on USA at 12.28pm in the first quarterfinals.

In the other quarters, South Africa will take on Kenya, Australia will play New Zealand while England will take on Argentina.

The semifinals will start at 6.36pm while the final will kick off at 9.48 tonight.
