But things do not get any easier as Hong Kong Sevens winners, New Zealand coach Gordon Tietjens said his side needs to win again in Adelaide this weekend to keep their position on the points table.
Tonga coach Siua Tuimalolo said that being in the same pool with Fiji and Australia is not easy, however his boys are ready for the challenge.
Australia coach Michael O’Connor said his side knows the daunting task ahead of them to perform in their home tournament.

Fiji’s first game is at 2:51pm against USA.
