Only 6 hours remain to the start of the George 7's in South Africa, and Samoa captain Lolo Lui believes his side has a huge task ahead of them.
The side has never reached the Cup quarter finals in George and Lui knows it will be tough, as five of his boys are playing for the first time in George.
New Zealand coach Gordon Tietjens believes his side is in a pool of death, but his boys are looking forward to the tournament and are looking for a repeat of their win in Dubai last weekend.
Meanwhile, England Coach Ben Ryan is keeping his fingers crossed for his side to reach the semifinals, but he knows it will be tough.
The George 7s kicks off at 10:42pm tonight and Fiji's first game is against Portugal at 12.10am. Fiji's next match against Russia is at 3:16am and their last pool match against Australia will be at 7:16 tomorrow morning.
