With just hours remaining for Fiji’s first game at the Rugby World Cup Sevens, coach Gareth Baber knows how important it is that the team deliver this weekend.
Baber says that the team is calm and focused ahead of their opener against Japan and they are ready for the challenge ahead of them.
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama presented the Fiji 7s team with their match jerseys last night in San Francisco.
Fiji will meet Japan in their first match of the Rugby World Cup Sevens at AT&T Park in San Francisco at 3.53pm this afternoon.
This is after Japan thrashed Uruguay 33-7 in their pre round of 16 match this morning.
Barring any upsets, Fiji will either meet Argentina or Canada in the Cup quarterfinals.
The Cup quarters start at 10.32am tomorrow.
Fiji will either meet Australia or New Zealand in the Cup semifinals.
The Cup semis start at 7.40am Monday and Fiji will either meet South Africa, England or USA in the Final at 12.49pm Monday.
Fijians around the country and in different parts of the world are encouraged to fly the Fiji flag as we get ready for the World Cup 7s.
Fiji last won the Melrose Cup in 2005, and 13 years later, fans believe that Gareth Baber has the right mix of players to deliver the win and bring the World Cup home.
