The Fiji Airways Fijiana team has left the country last night with a mission to win in the Rugby 7s World Cup in San Francisco later this month.

Coach Iliesa Tanivula says there has been a huge change in the player’s physical fitness.

“The response from the girls have been good and I guess at the back of everyone’s mind we know it’s the World Cup and we went through strength training through the hills of Wailoku and its good to go out there and we could see the physical change in their body.”
