Fiji-S/Africa to clash in NZ 7s quarters
The Iliesa Tanivula coached side is the only team in the tournament that has conceded only two tries in all of their pool games.
Fiji defeated Scotland 36-5 in their opening pool game before thumping PNG 41-nil and beating Australia 38-7 in their last game.
Tanivula knows what to expect from South Africa in the quarter finals after beating them in Dubai and George in the same stage of the game.
He said his side do not want a repeat of last year where they lost in the quarter finals to England and thus they will approach this game with alot more focus and a positive mind set.
South Africa Coach, Paul Treau said last night's loss to New Zealand will be used by his players to motivate them against Fiji.
Hosts New Zealand are also one of the favourites after being unbeaten on day 1.
Coach Gordon Tietjens said the pressure is on them to win at home.
The quarter final starts at 2.33pm with New Zealand playing Australia, at 2.55pm Samoa will face Kenya and England will take on Canada at 3.17pm.
Fiji will play in the last quarter finals at 3.39pm against South Africa.
Just looking at the results from last night, New Zealand beat South Africa 19-7, Fiji 38 - Australia 7, England defeated Kenya 24-10 while Samoa proved too strong against Argentina winning 33-14.
