The Vodafone Fiji 7s team will head into Hong Kong next week as the king of the tournament.

In the last 39 tournaments, Fiji has won 14 and New Zealand collected 11 titles.

This year the 2014/2015 series is set to be the closest in history, with South Africa holding a narrow series lead after New Zealand passed the halfway point of the campaign.

Every team is aiming for the top four spots with five legs down and four to go before the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

Looking at the points table South Africa is leading with 93 points, All Blacks is in second place with 88 points while Fiji sits in third place with 86 points.

The top four after this series automatically qualify for the Summer Olympics in Rio.

Vodafone Fiji 7s coach Ben Ryan will name his 12 players at 12pm tomorrow.

New Zealand is the defending champions after they defeated England 26-7 in the final while Fiji last won the tournament in 2013 when Osea Kolinisau scored a hat-trick in the second half after being down 19-0 to beat Wales 26-19.

Fiji is pooled with Canada, Samoa and Belgium in the Hong Kong 7s which kicks off next Friday.

Fiji will face Samoa in their first game at 12.44am Saturday.
