The Fiji Airways 7s side left for London this morning with high hopes.

The team is traveling without Head Coach Gareth Baber who will join them on Friday.

Captain Paula Dranisinukula says the London and Paris 7s are going to be the most challenging tournaments as there’s just 3 points separating Fiji and USA on the overall series standings.

Fiji will have to win both of the remaining tournaments or win one and finish as a runner up in the other to stay in the hunt.

It may not be an easy feat but its achievable says Captain Paula Dranisinukula.

”It is important to have a good start in London, if we win in London, yes, it is sure we can make it and win the series.It’s going to be a tough two tournaments, you know America is at the top at the moment they won’t let go easily and they’ll fight back to be the number one in the series so it will be a tough job”.

The London 7s will kick off next Saturday and Fiji is in the same pool with Kenya, France and Samoa
