‘Our first up tackles have to count’.
That’s the statement from Fiji’s most successful coach Ilivasi Tabua after the Digicel Fiji Sevens team went down 14-7 to England.
The national side will now meet Samoa in the third cup quarter final at 2:12pm today.
Tabua said Samoa will adopt a more similar game to what Fiji encountered against England.
Meanwhile Samoan Coach Stephen Betham said the weather will play a big role in their quarter final clash against Fiji.
The quarter finals will start at 1:28pm when England will take on South Africa, Wales will tackle Australia at 1:50pm while New Zealand will meet Argentina in the last quarterfinal at 2:34pm.
In other results from last night’s final pool matches, Samoa thrashed South Africa 38-7, Wales beat Argentina 17 5, New Zealand defeated Australia 22-10.
The semi-finals start at 5.08pm and the final kicks off at 7.32pm tonight.
