Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Team Coach, Gareth Baber says grabbing a win in the Oceania 7s this weekend establishes that the team is on the right path before heading to Japan for the Olympic Games.

Speaking from Queensland, Baber says the intention of going into a tournament is to win but sometimes everything does not go as planned and that is where the players resilience will be shown.

The Fiji Men’s 7s team will take on Australia at 4pm this Friday in the Oceania 7s.

Fiji will then face the Oceania 7s team at 9.30pm Friday.

The national side has two more games on Saturday where they take on the All Blacks 7s team at 4.22pm and Australia at 9.30pm.

Fiji has two games on Sunday as well.

They take on the Oceania 7s team at 2.30pm and New Zealand at 8.07pm.

There are six rounds of matches in the Oceania 7s where each team will play each other twice.

The highest-ranked team after six matches will be declared the winner.
