The George 7s title is on the line, the second in the IRB World 7s Series with eight teams tonight and tomorrow morning gunning for the title and points.
The Digicel Fiji 7s team will have a tough Cup quarterfinal match against South Africa tomorrow morning. Fiji finished top in Pool B after impressive wins over Portugal 57-7, Russia 31-12 and over Australia by 31-0 while South Africa finished as runner-up in Pool A after held 12-12 by Kenya.
Both teams also played in last week's quarterfinal in Dubai where Fiji came out victors but tomorrow it will be different against the host team. Iliesa Tanivula will have to put more confidence into his players and could come up with his new plan. Meanwhile South Africa 7s coach Paul Treu says playing against Fiji is always tough.
New Zealand 7s coach Gordon Tietjens believes the George 7s tournament is likely to go down to the wire.
Kenya also looked impressive on the opening day and their Coach Benjamin Ayimba is wary of the Australians.
Fijivillage spoke to a lot of people about Fiji's chances in George, here's what they have to say.
The Cup quarterfinals tomorrow will see Kenya against Australia at 12:51am. England meets New Zealand at 1:13am, Samoa take on Argentina at 1.35am and the last quarterfinal between Fiji and South Africa at 1.57am.
