The World Rugby Sevens series reaches round seven in Hong Kong next weekend with South Africa 23 points clear at the top of the standings and well on course for a first world title since 2009.

England is second on the table, just three points clear of the Vodafone Fiji 7s team in third and once again questions are being raised about team discipline as two players, Sevuloni Mocenacagi and Vatemo Ravouvou served suspensions in the last leg.

Fiji will line up against traditional rivals New Zealand, Wales and Japan in Pool C in Hong Kong.

It was evident that some players are struggling with recent rule changes on tackling and coach Gareth Baber says the emphasis is to make sure that the players make legal tackles.

The Fiji 7s team has arrived in Hong Kong.

The Vodafone Fiji 7s team will play their first game against Japan at 11.54pm next Friday, they will take on Wales at 5.12pm Saturday while Fiji plays NZ in their final pool match at 9.12pm Saturday.
