The Vodafone Fiji Sevens team will not look beyond their first pool match against Canada this Friday.

Coach Ben Ryan says Canada is a team that has played a lot of sevens rugby recently and with a highly experienced side under the captaincy of John Moonlight they will not be easy to overcome.

Ryan says there is a reason that Canada has qualified for the Rio Olympics next year.

Fiji had a warm up match with the USA Sevens team yesterday.

Fiji will meet Canada in their first pool match at 6pm this Friday.

They will then take on Japan at 9pm Friday before facing Argentina at 3.28am Saturday.

The Cup quarterfinals will start at 8pm Saturday, Cup semis will start at 1.41am Sunday while the Cup final will be at 4.48am Sunday.

Fiji last won the Dubai Sevens in the 2013 2014 Sevens World Series.
