Despite suffering a major blow when captain DJ Forbes was ruled out for this weekend, New Zealand are keeping their eyes on track to walk away with the USA Title.
New Zealand who are currently tied at first place on the points table with England and are coming off a win at home during the 7s Tournament in Wellignton.
However, Coach Gordon Tietjens said that with the more people watching the tournament live in Las Vegas, all the teams will be out to impress.
He added that while they are looking at making it three in a row, they are not counting out any upsets.
New Zealand are in Pool B with Wales, Uruguay and Kenya.
Meanwhile, the Digicel Fiji 7s team are in Pool C and will be taking on Canada at 7.52am on Sunday in their Pool game after which they will take on Scotland at 12.07pm and then take on the last pool game against Australia at 2.41pm.
