England will focus on improving their accuracy at the Japan 7s this weekend.

England 7s coach Simon Amor admits that this is an area which they will need to heavily improve on if they are beat Fiji this weekend.

Amor said they showed a lot of heart during the Hong Kong 7s but they lacked the devastating attack which they are known for.

He said improving several areas of their fitness will also be a key focus.

Captain Tom Mitchell said Fiji is always a competitive team and generally improving in all areas of the game will be vital this weekend.

Speaking from Japan, Fiji coach Ben Ryan says they know the English will try and bounce back this weekend.

We have now moved up to second place in the World Sevens Series standing with 108 points, South Africa maintain their lead with 110 points while New Zealand have moved down to third place with 107 points.

Meanwhile, New Zealand will again face Australia in Pool B along Scotland and Portugal, the side they drew within the pool stages in Hong Kong.

Current series leaders South Africa will face USA, Canada and Kenya in Pool C, while Samoa will tackle Argentina, France and host nation Japan in Pool D.

Fiji will play Wales in its first pool match at 1pm Saturday.

We then take on Hong Kong at 4.18pm Saturday and the final pool match is against England at 8.30pm Saturday.

The Cup quarterfinals start at 2.20pm Sunday, the Cup semis kick off at 6.22pm Sunday while the Japan 7s Cup final starts at 9pm Sunday.
