Fiji 7s coach Gareth Baber says he is trying to make every element of their preparation competitive whether it’s the backs vs the forwards in team quizzes or small players facing off with big players in training sessions.
He says the players thrive in those tough situations, and that’s been very pleasing to see in tournaments like Singapore.
Baber says the players find the strength and experience to finish off teams when they look like they are dead and buried.
He told World Rugby that his job is to take thaat “outcome pressure” away from them so they can just enjoy the game.
Fiji’s first pool match of the London 7s will be against Argentina at 10.20pm Saturday.
The national side will take on Scotland in their second pool match at 2.26am Sunday and then face New Zealand at 4.32am Sunday in their final pool match.
The cup quarterfinals will start at 9.58pm Sunday while the cup semifinals will kick off at 1.48am next Monday.
The cup final is at 4.57am next Monday.
