Every game in Rio will be played like a final - Nakarawa

Fiji Men's 7s lanky forward Leone Nakarawa says they will treat all of their games at the Rio Olympics as a final.

The 28 year old believes they have prepared well and is looking forward to a great tournament.

Nakarawa's inclusion into Ben Ryan's side has been a big boost with his offloads and skills.

Being named man of the match and winning the Pro 12 last year for Glasgow are some highlights in his career and as the Olympic Games in Rio beckons, Nakarawa steps up to meet the expectations of coach Ben Ryan and the demands of a rugby 7s crazy nation that wants nothing less than a sevens rugby gold medal in Rio.

Meanwhile the national side will depart for New Zealand at 2pm today before heading out to Chile to join the Fijiana.

Fiji will take on Brazil in their first Rio Olympics pool game at 4.30am on August 10th, they will then face Argentina at 9.30am before taking on USA at 4.30am on August 11th.
