Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Team Coach, Gareth Baber says players selected in the team for the Oceania 7s have been chosen based on their hard work.

As the team prepares to play in an international tournament after more than a year, Baber says some of the players have got their opportunity quicker than they probably thought.

Baber adds he also has a good balance of experienced players.

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.
