Be rest assured we are in Wellington to do Fiji proud.
That's the message from the Digicel Fiji 7s ahead of their first pool game against Wales.
The 2008 Wellington 7s kicks-off this hour with 16 teams battling it out for the top honors to be awarded tomorrow night.
Hosts New Zealand are the overwhelming favorites to win their 3rd title after winning in Dubai and South Africa. Teams like Fiji, England, Samoa and South Africa will be their biggest threat.
Speaking to Legend FM Sports, Manager Opetaia Ravai says with 8 new players in Wellington for the first time it is a big challenge for the side.
Ravai maintained the side has prepared well to start their pool game against Wales on a winning note.
England coach Ben Ryan believes the top 5 teams in the IRB points table have equal chances of winning in Wellington.
Also, coach Rudi Moors of defending champs Samoa says history will be created if his side retains their title.
New Zealand coach Gordon Tietjens knows the pressure is on his boys to win in front of their home crowd, something they have failed to do in the past two years.
Tietjens believes that Fiji is always a threat and Coach Joe Savou is hiding the true potential of his players.
Fiji's first game is against Wales at 1.28pm today followed by Cook Islands at 4.24pm and the last pool game tonight against England at 8.34pm.
