Fiji 15's rugby coach Ilivasi Tabua has thrown his support behind the National 7's side as it gears up to challenge New Zealand in the next two events of the IRB 7's World Series in Wellington and San Diego.

Tabua said the contact ball situation is the key area that must improve and players need to be more aggressive and get at least two players involved in the tackle ball area.

He said this is what New Zealand did in Dubai and George and Fiji must improve on that if they are to win in Wellington and San Diego next month.

Tabua will assist Fiji 7's coach Joe Savou next week in Sigatoka because at the moment he is helping the National under 20 side preparing for the IRB Under 20 World Cup.
