Digicel Fiji 7s coach Iliesa Tanivula has urged his players for a good start in their opening match at the World Games.

Tanivula said Hong Kong, their first opponent is a very unpredictable side and they have a good set of players that play 7s rugby quite well.

He said they had a good build-up against USA yesterday and is hoping to win all their pool games over Hong Kong, Japan and Argentina today.

Meanwhile South Africa coach Paul Treu said his side will scrap through the pool stages as USA, Portugal and Chinese Taipei are not strong sides but is wary of the Fiji side, if they do meet in the final.

He said Fiji is their most difficult opponents, as they have played in four finals, lost every time and played 7 semifinals, won 3 and lost 4 and will have come up with a very good plan if they are to stop them from making a hat-trick.

The World Games 7s rugby competition kicks off today, with the opening match between Fiji and Hong Kong at 6pm.
