The Digicel Fiji Sevens team has a tough road ahead of them to try and win their second IRB Sevens tournament in the England Sevens this weekend.
The Iliesa Tanivula coached side is in Pool C with South Africa, Canada and France with the possibility of meeting either England or Australia in the quarter finals.
The Fiji Sevens team have struggled to get past the quarter finals in the Australia and USA Sevens where they have lost on both occasions to the young Australian outfit.
Tanivula said that they are not looking at who they will meet in the quarter finals as they have to win their pool game before they can progress to the play-offs.
He added that teams like England, New Zealand and Samoa are blessed as they can field most of their experience players, but for him he will rely on unknown players to surprise everyone in London.
Fiji's opening pool game is against Canada on Saturday night at 10.14pm.
