Las Vegas 7's defending champion South Africa is hoping to defend their title at Sam Boyd Stadium this weekend.

Neil Powell's outfit enters the tournament on the back of the year-ending win on home soil and is pooled with Kenya, Wales and Canada.

Series pace-setters New Zealand will be without injured Tomasi Cama and will face a tough pool that consists of Fiji, Australia and Scotland.

The USA 7s will kick off tomorrow and Fiji will play Scotland at 1:06pm before meeting Australia at 4:02pm.
