While there is a lot of talk about All Black Sonny Bill Williams in the Wellington 7s, many Fijian fans are waiting to see how players like Savenaca Rawaca, Isake Katonibau, Pio Tuwai and Semi Kunatani will deal with him.

Last week, Vodafone Fiji 7s coach Ben Ryan announced Toulouse wing Kunatani is in the side and rated the team as the fittest compared to the side that won Dubai and played in Cape Town last year.

Kunatani who surprised a lot of the players with his fitness during his first training session says he is not only maintaining his style of play but has some more things to offer.

Meanwhile Pio and Jerry Tuwai are the other two players that continue to impress fans in every tournament.

Leading series points scorer Vatemo Ravouvou (113), and second highest try scorer Savenaca Rawaca (10) are both looking good to produce some outstanding records.

Fiji is in Pool B with Japan, Wales and Argentina in the Wellington tournament.

They will take on Japan at 11.36am this Saturday.

Fiji will face Wales at 2.38pm and take on Argentina at 5.46pm this Saturday.

The Cup quarters will start at 12.02pm Sunday, the Cup semis start at 4.27pm while the Cup final kicks off at 7.30pm.
