The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team will be facing a tough challenge from teams in their pool especially England in the second series of the Cape Town 7s this weekend.

With power houses James Rodwell, Tom Mitchell, Dan Bibby and Dan Norton, England will be a side to look out for in Fiji’s pool apart from France and Kenya.

Fiji will take on France in their first pool match at 9.59pm this Saturday.

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