The Vodafone Fiji 7s side will want to win the Cape Town tournament for a number of reasons this weekend.

The priority will be to end the first leg on the top of the table for a good start to defend the World Sevens Series.

The side will also keep in mind former coach Etuate Waqa who passed away earlier this week.

Fiji last won a tournament in South Africa 11 years ago and a win in the Rainbow Nation is something which the team and its fans will desperately want.

Fiji kicks off its Cape Town campaign against Japan at 11.05pm today.

They then take on Kenya at 2.06am tomorrow before playing France in the last pool game at 6.12am.

You can watch the tournament live on FBC TV and catch the commentaries of Fiji’s games on Radio Fiji One.
