Leone Nakarawa says he set the goal to play in another Rugby 7s World Cup after failing to win it in 2013.

The European Player of the Year says the team has a lot to do in order to win Fiji’s third World Cup title.

Nakarawa says it is all about hard work and sacrifice.

He adds that he has had a weeks rest but when duty calls to represent Fiji, he has to put his hand up.

Meanwhile, Semi Radradra will leave for Utah on Sunday as he has to complete his three weeks of rest as per his contract.

The 16 member training squad left for Utah last night while Coach Baber is expected to name his final 12 by 18th of this month.

Fiji open their Rugby World Cup 7s campaign against the winner of Qualifying Match 7, either Japan or Uruguay on the 21st of this month 3.53pm.
