New Zealand 7s coach Gordon Tietjens said most of the team's in the USA 7s may take time to adjust to the pitch.
He said the Pitch, where the tournament will be held is quite big and team's with fast runners can win the tournament and at the same time could put more pressure on the players and coaches on their game plan.
Samoa team captain Lolo Lui who missed last weekend's final in Wellington against Fiji because of suspension said his side is ready to play in another final.
South Africa team captain Mzwandile Stick said they must have a good game plan to overcome Fiji in their Group, and also avoid meeting New Zealand in the quarterfinal.
Stick said they have been working overtime to ensure things go right in Las vegas this time after failing to win the last three tournaments.
USA 7s tournament starts tomorrow morning at 8am.
It will take time to adjust to the pitch- Tietjens
