Baber says Fiji is mentally and physically prepared to win Sydney 7s

It is very difficult to repeat a winning performance as there is a lot of mental and physical effort that goes into winning a tournament however we have been consistently working so that the players are mentally and physically prepared to win again this weekend.

Those are the words of Fiji Airways Men’s 7s coach, Gareth Baber.

Speaking from Sydney, Baber says last year, a number of their tournaments were won in the second tournament of the leg.

Meanwhile, captain Kalione Nasoko says they are prepared for this weekend.

Baber has picked Mesulame Kunavula, Kalione Nasoko (captain), Sevuloni Mocenacagi, Meli Derenalagi, Josua Vakurinabili, Apenisa Cakaubalavu, Jerry Tuwai, Waisea Nacuqu, Terio Tamani, Vilimoni Botitu, Alasio Naduva and Aminiasi Tuimaba for the Sydney 7s.

Fiji will face Japan in their first pool match of the Sydney 7s at 12.34pm tomorrow and meet England at 6pm while Fiji will play their last pool game against Samoa at 10pm tomorrow.

The Cup quarterfinals start at 1.16pm Sunday, the semifinals start at 5.16pm while the final will start at 9.56pm Sunday.
