The Vodafone Fiji 7s team and the Telecom Fijiana team have already started preparing for the upcoming 2015/2016 World Sevens Series which will start with the Dubai 7s on the 5th and 6th of December.

Coach Ben Ryan yesterday took both teams through some intense training at the Uprising Beach Resort ground and a hard session at the sand dunes in Sigatoka this morning.

Ryan said with the Rio Olympics to be held next year and less than two months to go for the first leg, he will make sure their fitness is maintained.
