Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s co-captain, Meli Derenalagi says the team has learnt a lot from their weaknesses in the last two tournaments of the HSBC 7’s series.
He says their preparation for this weekend has gone really well and they know they need to go out and deliver.
He adds the fans in Hamilton make them feel like they are playing at home and the players are looking forward to this weekend.
Derenalagi represented Fiji during the Captains photoshoot where captains of 28 participating men’s and women’s teams came together at the iconic Hamilton Gardens.
