The Digicel Fiji 7's team will have to settle quickly and acclimatize to the weather if they are to end their 8 year losing streak in Dubai.

Coach Joe Savou said that it is important for the players to get used to the weather in Dubai since 9 of the players in the 12 member team squad are playing in the tournament for the first time.

The Dubai 7's tournament kicks on Friday with Fiji's opening Pool match against Argentina at 6:14pm.

Then they face Zimbabwe at 11:10pm and their final Pool encounter will be against Australia on Saturday morning at 3.12am.
