There is a need to improve in our defense and we must score first against our opponents.
Those are the words of Digicel Fiji 7's coach, Iliesa Tanivula after assessing his players weaknesses after the pool games this morning in the South Africa sevens.
Fiji defeated Namibia 47-7 and proved too strong for USA winning 43-5 before they had to come from behind and drew 14 all with Samoa in their last pool game.
Tanivula said that they allowed Namibia to score under the post and also in the game against USA and against Samoa they failed to score first and were forced to play catch up rugby.
He added that they have to change their mind set and their approach in the quarter final against Australia.
Tanivula said that in the 14 all draw against Samoa his boys have showed they can match any opponent in the South Africa 7's.
Fiji will play Australia in the last quarter final at 1.12am tomorrow morning.
In other quarter finals at 12.06am Wales will play Samoa, South Africa and England 12.28am, New Zealand and Argentina at 12.50am.
In other results this morning, Australia beat Scotland 21 7, Kenya lost to Russia 34-5, Wales 29 France 12 , New Zealand defeated England 20-7 and South Africa beat Argentina 29-5.
