“Our aim is still the same and it has not change”.
This is the statement from Digicel Fiji Sevens team assistant coach Etuate Waqa after the inconsistent performance of our national side in the last two tournaments.
After a flying start in Gold Coast, Fiji failed to continue from where they left off after claiming the third spot in Dubai before a humiliating exit from the South Africa Sevens one week later with a shocking 48-0 loss to Wales in the Plate final.
Waqa said fans have to bear with the team as they want to better their rankings.
Fiji will play Argentina at 12.44pm this Friday in its first match of the New Zealand Sevens.
At 3.40pm Fiji will take on Tonga and in its last pool match Fiji will play Wales at 8.12pm.
The Cup quarterfinals will start at 1.33pm Saturday with the Cup semifinals starting at 5.35pm.
The Cup final will be played at 8.30pm.
