It is Paris mode already for the Vodafone Fiji 7s team after French Ambassador to Fiji, Michel Dojokovic hosted them for morning tea today.

While addressing the team today, Dojokovic said that the tournament in France will boost rugby sevens and especially lift the spirit of the French players.

The national team will leave our shores on Wednesday.

They will have a week long camp in London before heading to Paris.
