One of the top contenders at the Dubai 7s tournament will be kicked out in the quarterfinal stages.
Defending champion South Africa and Digicel Fiji 7s team were tipped to meet in the final, but this has been changed after Fiji failed to beat Samoa in their final pool match this morning which ended in a 12-all draw.
Both teams will now face off in the first quarterfinal tonight.
One of the top 7s commentator Nigel Starmer-Smith reports.
The Cup quarterfinal today at 7:48pm will see Fiji playing South Africa.
Then at 8:10pm New Zealand take on Kenya. At 8:32pm England meets Argentina and the last quarterfinal at 8:54pm will see Samoa against Australia.
The semifinals will be played at 3:30am tomorrow, with the final scheduled for 5:44am.
Meanwhile Fiji in their earlier pool games beat Scotland 47-12 and Zimbabwe by 31-14.
