Focus on the job!
That is word from Digicel Fiji 7s coach Alifereti Dere as he took the team through their training run in Dubai last night.
Pio Tuwai and Aminiasi Nava had their first training run with the team and have really adjusted well in camp.
Assistant coach, Etuate Waqa said these two are specialists in their own field and their inclusion should not be of any concern when the tournament kicks off tomorrow.
Waqa added that the overseas media are following the team everywhere they go and it is a different hype altogether in Dubai this week.
Meanwhile, Watisoni Votu will captain the Digicel Fiji 7s team in Dubai this weekend.
Assistant coach Etuate Waqa said that Votu deserves the appointment as he has been a consistent player and commands a lot of respect.
Fiji's first game is against Argentina at 7:04pm tomorrow.
At 10.46pm Fiji takes on United Arab Emirates.
On Saturday morning at 4.06am, Fiji takes on Samoa.
