Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team captain Meli Derenalagi says they will not be affected by the different atmosphere in Los Angeles and remain focused on the job ahead.

Derenalagi says this is his first time in LA and he predicts there will be a different crowd and atmosphere.

He says they have to be vigilant in the pool as they have been upset by Argentina and France earlier this season and they cannot count out South Korea.

Fiji’s first pool match in the Los Angeles 7s is against South Korea at 6.51am this Sunday.

The national side will then face France at 9.47am this Sunday while Fiji’s final pool match is against Argentina at 1.05pm this Sunday.

The Cup quarterfinals start at 5.43am next Monday while the Cup semifinals will start at 7.55am next Monday.

The Cup final of the Los Angeles 7s will kick off at 12.26pm next Monday.
