Fiji Men's 7s team hit the ground running in Cape Town

The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team has hit the ground running in Cape Town with the  team regrouping in a training session today. 

Fiji Rugby says the team was regrouping, reinforcing and ready for the Cape Town 7s.

All players looked to be in good shape and were well involved in the training session.

Pictures by Fiji Rugby showed Coach Gareth Baber working separately with a group of players.

Some of the players in that group were Waisea Nacuqu, Kavekini Tabu and Sevuloni Mocenacagi. 

Defence and discipline were major challenges for the national team in the Dubai 7s and it was directly related to the six yellow cards the team received.

Most of those yellow cards were given because of deliberate knock-ons.

The team missed an average of 9 tackles per match and scored a total of 17 tries in 4 matches in the Dubai 7s.

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

We will open our campaign against USA at 6.35am this Saturday, 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 this Saturday in their first pool match.

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

The Fijiana 7s Team is in 8th place with 10 points on the HSBC World 7s Series Women’s standings.
