Scotland 7s Coach Stephen Gemmell feels it is an honor for them to be in the same pool with Fiji, in this week's first tournament of the IRB 7s series in Dubai.

Gemmell is confident his boys can do a repeat of last year's results after they beat the Iliesa Tanivula coached side in London and Scotland.

Gemmell added that the win over Fiji last year has instilled a lot of confidence in the group, but they will have to keep their error count really low to avoid being heavily penalized.

The Scottish Coach said that while the team will try and be competitive in the World Series, he is also concentrating on developing his players and getting the balance across.

Scotland is in Pool B with Fiji, Zimbabwe and Samoa.

The Dubai 7s kicks off this Friday at 6.20pm between Fiji and Scotland.
