There is no other way.
Cut out the mistakes and pile up the points against USA and France.
That’s the message from the Digicel Fiji Sevens coach Iliesa Tanivula in Dubai as they get ready for their second World Cup match against USA at 8:50 tonight.
Tanivula said they are ready.
Tanivula said the team has now found its ground after the first game against Georgia.
The coach from Namotomoto has this message for the people of Fiji.
It is a tough road ahead for the Digicel Fiji Sevens team as it plays its remaining pool games in the next few hours in the World Cup Sevens.
Although Fiji managed to beat Georgia in its first pool match early this morning by 26-10, it is ranked 9th after the first round of games.
As Fijivillage highlighted earlier that in the World Cup, there are six pools and the teams have to score maximum points and have a good finish to top the pool, meaning that the six pool table toppers and only the two best runner-up teams will go into the Cup quarter finals.
After day 1, New Zealand is ranked first as they walloped Italy 42-0.
England is second after they beat Hong Kong convincingly by 42-5.
The English are followed by the Samoans, then its Wales, Kenya, South Africa and Tonga and Canada tied at 7th place, resulting in the defending champions, Fiji in ninth place.
Iliesa Tanivula's men have to beat USA and France convincingly to make the top 8 and also improve their ranking to avoid a quarter final clash with one of the top guns in the tournament.
The second day of matches at the World Cup Sevens starts tonight at 7pm, with the opening match between New Zealand and Arabian Gulf.
Fiji plays USA at 8:50pm tonight and we then take on France at 2:20am tomorrow morning.
