April 15, 2015 12:59 am

The Telecom Fijiana side is expecting an acid test in the pool stages of the Canada 7s this weekend.

Coach Iliesa Tanivula says being pooled alongside women’s series leaders, New Zealand, as well as England and Spain will be a tough task.

“It’s an exciting pool, it’s a tough pool but we just have to get on with it. New Zealand has been there and they have set the standard in the World Series and women’s rugby. But it’s something that we’ve got to test ourselves against; so we’re excited and we’re just going to get on with it.”
