Fiji 7s team need to improve on restarts and ball possession in Vancouver

Kick-offs is something the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team needs to improve on based on the statistics at the Las Vegas 7s.

Fiji finished 4th in regaining restarts in Vegas.

This was a major strength for the team in the first 4 tournaments however, it caused Fiji disappointment in being bundled out in the quarters.

Fiji will need to focus on this area as this could play a major role in order for them to defend their title in this weekend’s Vancouver 7s.

Fiji has recovered a total of 142 restarts in the last 5 tournaments the highest of any team in the series.

Fiji will play Kenya in their first pool match of the Vancouver 7s at 5.36am Sunday, they will then take on Canada at 9.08am Sunday and face Samoa in their last pool game at 1.02pm Sunday.

The Cup quarterfinals will start at 6.08am next Monday, Cup semifinals start at 10.08am next Monday and the Cup final will kick off at 1.19pm next Monday.
