England 7s team worried

As the Digicel Fiji 7s team tries to win the Dubai 7s tournament for the first time, defending champion England is worried if they will progress into the quarter finals.

England is in the pool of death with Samoa and South Africa and they will face the Springboks in their first game at 8:20 tonight.

The Englishmen had a disastrous performance at the Gold Coast tournament last month after being beaten by Spain in the bowl final.

Coach Ben Ryan said he is still hurting from their loss last month.

Ryan added that they are aiming to make the top eight but that will not happen if they don't get past two of the world's best teams.


Meanwhile, 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.

The Dubai 7s starts at 6.06pm today with France taking on Canada.

Barring any upsets, Fiji is expected to play New Zealand in the Cup final of the Dubai 7's 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 champions England, Samoa or South Africa in the Cup semis.

The Cup quarter finals start at 7.50pm tomorrow with the cup semifinals to start at 2.07am Sunday.

The Cup final will be played at 5.33am Sunday.
