Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Coach Gareth Baber says he senses no fear or worry amongst the team as they prepare to play Australia and New Zealand in the Oceania 7s this month.

This will be more than a year since our men’s and women’s 7s teams have played in an international tournament.

While speaking from quarantine in Brisbane, Baber says when the players get on the field, they do what they love to do and it becomes very natural for them to be competitive.

He adds it will be no different when they go up against Australia and New Zealand.

The national side will be in quarantine in Brisbane until the 18th of this month and play in the Oceania 7s from the 25th to the 27th of this month in Australia.
