The stage is set for the first tournament of the IRB Seven series to get underway in the next hour at the Dubai 7's with Fiji chasing a win with Coach Waisale Serevi back at the helm.
Dubai is special as all the teams know that they will be back at the same venue in March next year to battle it out for the Melrose Cup and Team Manager Jope Tuivanuavou said discipline will be the key.
Fiji is in a tough pool in this year’s Dubai 7s as we are pooled with England, USA and Portugal.
Fiji's opening pool game is against USA at 7.42 tonight. Fiji plays its second pool match against Portugal at 12:38am tomorrow then take on England at 3:56 tomorrow morning.
