Vodafone Fiji 7s coach Ben Ryan has made it clear that they want to start the World Rugby Series with a win in Dubai.

Ryan said they will treat every game as if it is the final.

He said winning the Dubai 7s tournament will be a major boost for Fiji's series title defense.

Ryan said the Dubai pool will not be easy as Canada, Argentina and Japan are all quality teams.

Meanwhile, Vodafone Fiji sevens star Jerry Tuwai has been identified by World Rugby as one of the seven players to light up this weekend’s Dubai sevens.

Tuwai who was the sevens rookie of the year in the last season has been compared to having skills and a step similar to that of William Ryder and the great Waisale Serevi.

According to World Rugby, other players tipped to shine are Scott Curry of New Zealand, Werner Kok and Seabelo Senatla of South Africa, Phil Mack and Nathan Hirayama of Canada, Perry Baker of USA and Dan Norton of England.

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.
