Tough Road For 7s Team
The Waisale Serevi coached side is in Pool C with Scotland, Argentina and Zimbabwe and whether they will come out as pool winner or runners up they will take on either Samoa or Kenya in the quarterfinals.
Fiji struggled to beat Samoa in the quarterfinals of the Dubai Sevens last weekend escaping with a narrow 12-7 win while Kenya has become renowned for upsetting well known teams in the past IRB Series.
Serevi has been trying to iron out weaknesses which led to their downfall last week mostly in defense around the ruck area and also during kick-offs and scrums.
The run on team to face Scotland will be named tonight and it is likely that Rupeni Nasiga, Etonia Naba and Sailosi Rabo will start in the forwards.
Emosi Vucago will captain the side and will start from play-maker with Lepani Nabuliwaqa at halfback and either Iveri Lavo or Ratu Naisa will be at rover with Vereniko Goneva on the wing.
Fiji will face Scotland at 9.37pm tomorrow night and play Zimbabwe at 12.43am on Saturday before taking on Argentina at 5.32am.
