Be rest assured, we know what the nation wants in the Hong Kong 7s this weekend.
Those are the words of Digicel Fiji 7s team co-captain, Dale Tonawai as the side set their focus on tonight's opening pool game against Malaysia at 9.14pm.
The presence of Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama last night to hand the players their jerseys for the tournament and his words of encouragement was a timely reminder to the team about the nation's hopes to show the world that the Hong Kong 7s is special to Fiji.
Tonawai said their preparation has fallen into place and they have to believe in themselves to be successful in a hunting ground where our past records speaks for itself.
Coach Iliesa Tanivula said this is the defining moment for him as a coach to again restore the lost pride that has evaded us for the past one year when we last won a IRB 7's tournament.
Tanivula added he knows what is at stake for him and the team in Hong Kong.
The Fiji side to play against Malaysia in the forwards, Dale Tonawai, Setefano Cakau and Jerry Burotu.
Nikola Matawalu will be at half back, Miti Nacagilevu at play maker, Joeli Lutumailagi at rover and Osea Kolinisau on the wing.
The Fiji 7s team takes on Malayasia at 9.14pm tonight in their first game in the Hong Kong 7s.
The tournament kicks off at 8.30 tonight.
