Fiji’s biggest threat in Cape Town 7's will come from England.

This has been highlighted by Fiji Airways Men’s National 7's Coach Gareth Baber who says England has improved a lot and will bring a lot of physicality.

Baber says that they will try as much as possible to win the ball from kick offs.

Speaking about their other pool opponents, Baber says that they managed to plan well and score some good tries in their encounters with Kenya and France in Dubai.

He says that despite the wins over the two teams, they will still have to improve in their defence against Kenya and France while they await the big threat from the English.

Fiji will take on France in their first pool match at 9.59 tonight.

They will take on Kenya at 1.20am tomorrow and then play their last pool match against England at 5.03am tomorrow.

The Cup quarterfinals will start at 11.04pm tomorrow, semifinals will start at 3.34am Monday and the Cup Final will be played at 6.44am Monday.
