Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team captain Jerry Tuwai believes playing against teams like New Zealand and Australia will be a really good test and an opportunity for them to put together a team that can defend the gold medal in the Olympic Games.
Coach Gareth Baber has named 7 new players who have not been to any series and will be playing against New Zealand and Australia for the first time.
Tuwai says these players deserve to be in the team adding that they have been working really hard and will surely shine during the three-day competition.
The Fiji men’s 7s team will return to action after more than a year when we take on Australia at 4pm this Friday in the Oceania 7’s.
Fiji will then face the Oceania 7s team at 9.30pm on the same day.
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.
