Digicel Fiji 7s coach Iliesa Tanivula will start the Hong Kong 7s, with the same players that he has been using so far in the IRB World 7s Series.
Nasoni Roko, Setefano Cakau, Emosi Vucago, Pio Tuwai, Joeli Lutumailagi, Watisoni Votu and Osea Kolinisau will run on against Thailand in the opening pool match today.
Team Manager Jope Tuivanuavou said Tanivula is sending his best line-up so that players combine well from the opening game.
He said Fiji rugby fans are expecting a much improved side from the Australia 7s and they will not let them down.
Meanwhile, he said they know the other teams in Hong Kong are keeping their game plans to their chest.
The Hong Kong 7s starts today at 9:30pm.
Fiji's opening pool match against Thailand will start at 10:14pm.
