All Blacks 7s coach Sir Gordon Tietjens will not be bothered by the rivalry between Fiji and New Zealand as the two teams have been drawn in the same pool at the Wellington 7s.

Tietjens said his first priority will be picking his squad and he has hinted the return of injured trio Tomasi Cama, Sherwin Stowers and Joe Webber.

Tietjens added that his side will not lack motivation at their home tournament after losing the final of the USA 7s to South Africa.

Apart from this, Tietjens is also disappointed with the nine match ban given to Sam Dickson for a reckless contact with Fiji 7s player Jone Tuitoga's eyes in their last pool game at the USA 7s. 

Meanwhile, the Fiji 7s team arrives in the country tomorrow and will leave the same day for the Wellington 7s. 

The Wellington 7s kicks off next Friday and Fiji will take on NZ in their first pool match of the NZ 7s at 2.06pm next Friday.
