Fiji 7s training team break camp today
Coach Iliesa Tanivula has been working overtime in the past few days looking at all the players who have turned up in camp to try and win a spot in the national team for Hong Kong.
Tanivula knows that 30 points is up for grabs in Hong Kong and he will have to name a side that can again repeat the performance of the 2009 side that ended Fiji's 10 year losing streak.
This season, Fiji is one of just two teams to have beaten New Zealand on the 2010/11 World Sevens Series.
In the New Zealand and USA legs of the Series, Fiji had the worst try conceding rate of all teams, conceding a try every 180 seconds of opposition possession, an average of 1.5 tries per match.
At the other end of the pitch they scored 46 tries, the second most after New Zealand, but interestingly 61% of these tries' origin was inside their own half, making for a breathtaking spectacle for the fans.
The Hong Kong 7's will be held from the 25th to the 27th of this month.
