It's high expectations for the Digicel Fiji 7's team this weekend and now the application by the players is what is left to be seen.

Las Vegas is known to travelers and visitors as the Sin City with the Fiji team one of the tournament favorites but the players know that the day of judgment is today and it is time for them to repent the mistakes they committed last weekend.

For assistant coach, Etuate Waqa there will be changes from last weekend's style of play and some class added on the players approach in USA.

He remained confident that a repeat of last weekend’s results will not happen and they will try to do better than last year where we lost to South Africa in the final.

The Fiji team to play Argentina at 12pm are, Nemani Nagusa, Waisea Nayacalevu and Setefano Cakau in forwards with Taniela Rawaqa at halfback and Metuisela Talebula at playmaker.

Jone Tiko will be at rover while Avenisi Vasuinubu will run in as winger.

This is the first time the two brothers, Waisea Nayacalevu and Avenisi Vasuinubu will start for Fiji together.

At 2.56pm Fiji will face hosts USA and on Sunday at 9.06am Fiji will take on Canada.

Cup quarters final will begin at 1.52pm on Sunday.

Cup Semi final will begin at 7.32am on Monday and Cup final will be played at 10.28am.
