IRB 7's Series current points leader South Africa is cautious about an unknown Digicel Fiji 7's Team taking part in this weekend's New Zealand International 7's.
Coach Paul Treu believes the players in the Fiji side know how important it is to do well in this tournament, after going through alot of hardships during their preparation.
Treu said Fiji will still be a force to reckon with although more than half the team are playing for the first time in Wellington.
He has also rated the New Zealand leg of the IRB 7's as the toughest tournament since all Pacific teams are taking part.
Meanwhile, the Digicel Fiji 7's team with 10 players playing in the tournament for the first time, is aware of the task ahead of them. Manager, Alifereti Malo said players have been told that this is the time to turn their dreams into reality.
Fiji's opening game is on Friday at 12.44pm against USA.
