Motivation not an issue – Baber

Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Team Coach Gareth Baber says motivation is not an issue for his team.

As Fiji prepares to play in an international 7s tournament after more than one year, Baber says the younger players are raring to take the field while the experienced players are looking forward to having that level of competition outside of Fiji.

Baber adds he understands there will be a period of adjustment to the way other teams play.

The Fiji Men’s 7s team will take on Australia at 4pm today in the Oceania 7s.

Fiji will then face the Oceania 7s team at 9.30 tonight.

The national side has two more games tomorrow where they take on the All Blacks 7s team at 4.22pm and Australia at 9.30pm.

Fiji has two games on Sunday as well.

They take on the Oceania 7s team at 2.30pm and New Zealand at 8.07pm.

There are six rounds of matches in the Oceania 7s where each team will play each other twice.

The highest-ranked team after six matches will be declared the winner.

The Women’s 7s team will play Australia at 5.06pm today and New Zealand at 10.14 tonight.

They will play the Oceania 7s team at 4.44pm tomorrow and Australia at 10.36pm tomorrow.

The Women’s team will play New Zealand at 3.14pm and then play the Oceania 7s team at 8.33pm Sunday.
