Former England Sevens forward Chris Cracknell who is now assisting Vodafone Fiji 7's coach Ben Ryan on the last leg of the World Sevens Series believes that Fiji has a fair chance of winning the series title.

Cracknell who represented England in 12 tournaments said the abundance of talent in Fiji is what Ben Ryan likes to work with which he enjoyed since he landed in Fiji a few months back.

Cracknell added that he has been working with the forwards in a number of basic fundamentals including getting the line outs and scrum right.

The Glasgow 7s will start this weekend and Fiji will face Wales at 11.42pm Saturday.

They take on Portugal at 2.48am on Sunday before taking on host Scotland at 6.21am.

The cup quarter finals will start at 10.28pm Sunday, the semifinals will be at 1.58am next Monday while the final will be held at 5.20am Monday.
