Fiji can win the London 7s - Former England 7s captain

Former England 7s captain and World Rugby analyst Rob Vickerman believes if the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team continue with their belief factor, they can win the London 7s this weekend.

Vickerman gave his predictions and analysis on how Fiji has been maintaining consistency since the Dubai 7s last December.

Vickerman believes that the growing confidence in the Fiji 7s team has made them the most lethal team in the series this year with tonnes of skills and a well balanced defensive structure to contain big teams like South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

Meanwhile Fiji 7s captain Jerry Tuwai says that there was no pressure or panic within the team when it came to those dying moments in the quarterfinal, semi‑final and final.

Tuwai says that they were well focused on their task.

Fiji’s first pool match of the London 7s will be against Argentina at 10.20pm Saturday.

The national side will take on Scotland in their second pool match at 1.26am Sunday and then face New Zealand at 4.32am Sunday in their final pool match.

The cup quarterfinals will start at 9.58pm Sunday while the cup semifinals will kick off at 1.48am next Monday.

The cup final is at 4.57am next Monday.
