New Zealand 7s coach Gordon Tietjens said they will have to give their best shot in Hong Kong if they are to maintain their winning record in the 2007/2008 IRB World 7s series.

Tietjens comments come after hearing that Fiji has included the likes of William Ryder, Semisi Naevo, Marika Vunibaka and Lepani Nauliwaqa.

Speaking to Fijivillage Sports from his home in New Zealand, Tietjens said this year's Hong Kong 7s will now be more interesting and Fiji will be a team to beat.

Meanwhile, the New Zealand 7s squad to Hong Kong and Adelaide will be announced next week.
