The Australian Men's 7s team will have one thing on their mind when participating in the Oceania 7s tournament next month and that is to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Since the Oceania 7s is an Olympics qualification tournament, Australia's coach Tim Walsh says their preparation for this tournament began during their campaign in Germany last month in the Oktoberfest 7s.
He says from the top eight teams in sevens, six have automatically qualified, so for them , it is about preparing for next month and getting everything right.
Australia is expected to send a full strength team with the likes of captain Lewis Holland, Maurice Longbottom and speedster Tom Cusack.
Australia is pooled with Tonga, Nauru, American Samoa and Vanuatu in the Oceania 7s which will be held from the 7th to the 9th of next month at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.
Fiji who is the defending champion of the Oceania 7s is pooled with New Zealand, Japan, New Caledonia and Niue.
