The Fiji 7s team is on track to achieve its required fitness level for the Rio Olympics.
With the sevens debut at the Olympics looming, Trainer Nacanieli Cawanibuka is relaxed about the players’ fitness.
Cawanibuka says the current program for the men’s team has never been done before.
He adds for the first time ever the players have had proper pre-season programs.
