Former national 7s coach Waisale Serevi has predicted that New Zealand will be Fiji's biggest threat in trying to win the Wellington 7s next week.
Serevi, who led his Drifters side to win the Darwin 7s last week, said that current 7s coach Josateki Savou should be very careful with the positive comments that New Zealand coach Gordon Tietjens is making about the Fiji team.
The wizard believes that Savou has to lift the performance of the Fiji team to another level.
But New Zealand 7s coach Gordon Tietjens said that the performance of the other teams in the past Wellington 7s has made next week's competition wide open with at least 6 teams standing a chance of winning.
Fiji's opening pool game next Friday against Wales is at 1.28pm.
