A former Manager of the Fiji Men’s National 7s team, Ropate Kauvesi believes Fiji will have a good outing in the Cape Town 7s saying a Fiji team that is hurt is a strong team as well.

Kauvesi was the Manager of the team that won gold at the Rio Olympics.

He says he believes in what Coach Gareth Baber and the rest of the management team is trying to achieve.

Kauvesi says it is good that the team has realised where they are at the start of the season knowing that the Olympics is the end goal.

Fiji is the defending champion of the Cape Town 7s.

We will open our campaign against USA at 6.35am tomorrow, we take on South Africa in our second pool match at 12.51am Sunday while our final pool match against Japan is at 6.35am Sunday.

The Cup quarterfinals start at 10.18pm Sunday while the Cup semifinals kick off at 1.39am next Monday.

The Cup final will kick off at 5.56am next Monday.

The Fiji Men’s 7s Team is currently in 9th place on the HSBC World 7s Series standings with 8 points.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s team take on Russia at 2.28am tomorrow in their first pool match.

They will face New Zealand in their second pool match at 9.35pm tomorrow and play South Africa in their last pool match at 3.03am Sunday.
