Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Team Coach Gareth Baber says their defeats this season to France and Argentina was hurtful and they want to put that right as they prepare to face the two teams in their pool in the Los Angeles this weekend.

He says there is danger across the board in these tournaments and they have not reacted well when playing these two teams.

Baber says they know that they have to work hard and make sure they are accurate with bits of the game.

He says they have talked about their opposition and repeating the performance they did in the Sydney 7s to be able to win the tournament.

Fiji’s first pool match in the Los Angeles 7s is against South Korea at 6.51am this Sunday.

The national side will then face France at 9.47am this Sunday while Fiji’s final pool match is against Argentina at 1.05pm this Sunday.

The Cup quarterfinals start at 5.43am next Monday while the Cup semifinals will start at 7.55am next Monday.

The Cup final of the Los Angeles 7s will kick off at 12.26pm next Monday.
