Fiji will be out to win their third tournament in a row in the IRB World Sevens Series with the Dubai Sevens kicking off in the next hour.
The national Sevens team has never won three consecutive tournaments since the series started in 1999.
Fiji rounded off the 2011/2012 series with a 38-15 win over Samoa in the Cup final of the London Sevens in May this year before kick starting the 2012/2013 season with the Gold Coast Sevens win last month.
The Dubai title can be the icing on the cake as it has eluded us for the past 13 years.
Wardens sevens trio of Lepani Botia, Joji Ragamate and Ilai Tinai were all part of the past two winning teams and they will be out to create history for Fiji this weekend.
Botia said they have the depth and players to win.
Fiji will play Spain at 6.50 tonight, followed by Scotland at 10.36pm and then the final pool game is against Kenya at 3.58am tomorrow.
Barring any upsets, Fiji is expected to play New Zealand in the Cup final of the Dubai Sevens this weekend.
The two teams will not clash before the Cup final if they top their respective pools and win their quarterfinal and semifinal matches.
Fiji is expected to meet either Australia or France in the Cup quarters and we may face defending champion England, Samoa or South Africa in the Cup semis.
The Cup quarterfinals start at 7.50pm tomorrow with the Cup semifinals to start at 2.07am Sunday.
