Digicel Fiji 7's coach Iliesa Tanivula believes his side has the speed to match any team in the opening leg of the IRB 7's series in Dubai this weekend.
While alot of questions has been raised on whether Osea Kolinisau is fast enough to face teams like South Africa, Samoa and New Zealand, Tanivula said Kolinisau will be assisted by the return of Vima Tuidraki.
Tanivula said Tuidraki has the experience to be up against any of the fastest wingers in Dubai.
Fiji has the most experienced line-up in Dubai, as all of the 12 players in the team has played in the "City of Gold" before.
The Emosi Vucago captained side will take on Scotland in their opening pool game on Friday evening at 6.20pm.
Second pool game at 9.56pm they will play Zimbabwe and in the last game is at 3.30am against Samoa.
South Africa is the defending champions in Dubai.
