Fiji needs a 3rd place finish at the Paris 7s to win the World Sevens Series

The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team just needs a third place finish at the Paris 7s this weekend to win the 2017/2018 World Sevens Series.

Fiji is in first place with 167 points and a third place finish will earn them 17 points and will take their total tally to 184.

A tournament win is 22 points therefore South Africa will get 182 points if they win the Paris 7s. This will not be enough to beat Fiji on the table.

Fiji is in a tough pool with Kenya, Samoa and New Zealand.

Barring any upsets, they are likely to meet Argentina, USA or England in the quarterfinals.

They are likely to face Australia, Canada or Scotland in the semifinals and South Africa or New Zealand in the final.

Meanwhile you can vote for Eroni Sau and Alasio Naduva for the World Rugby 7s Rookie of the Year Award on World Rugby Facebook Page on the comment section on #votesau or #votenaduva.

The Rookie of the Year Award will be announced on Sunday.

Fiji will take on Samoa at 8.50pm Saturday in their first pool match of the Paris 7s.

The national side will then face Kenya at 11.46pm on Saturday in their second pool match while the final pool match is against New Zealand at 5.14am on Sunday.
