Second team was fielded-Dere

Digicel Fiji 7s coach Alifereti Dere said that they fielded their second team during the Dubai 7s tournament as he looks to the future.

This is after Fiji was bundled out of the tournament in the Cup Quarter finals to France 8-5 and then later got thrashed by Wales 27-5 in the plate semifinals.

Dere said there were a lot of differences in the side from the team that won in Australia which was the first team.

According to Dere they have already selected three teams and that they have got a coaching plan in place ahead of the 2013 World Cup and 2016 Olympics.

He said that each team has got targets and that they missed their target in this leg which another team will come in for the third leg to amend this result.

The national 7s coach said that he was also disappointed in the young side.

Samoa produced a master class performance to win the Dubai 7's tournament after beating New Zealand 26-15.
 
Meanwhile Fiji is in pool B in the South Africa sevens which has been labeled as the pool of death with New Zealand, England and Scotland.

The South Africa sevens kicks off on the 8th of this month.

Looking at the IRB world sevens series rankings New Zealand is now leading with 38 points, Fiji, Kenya and Samoa is second with 32, while France is 5th with 27.
