The challenge this week is to retain the Cape Town 7s title - Baber

Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Coach, Gareth Baber says the challenge this week is to retain their Cape Town 7s title.

Speaking from South Africa, Baber says it was disappointing they did not fully utilise the key aspects of the game which resulted in their downfall last week.

He says they need to work hard on these key aspects and this will place them in a good place going in to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The Cup final will kick off at 5.56am next Monday.
