The New Zealand 7s team who arrived in the country yesterday had their first run in the afternoon as they prepare for the 2018 Oceania 7s Championship this weekend.

Meanwhile, Fiji plays Solomon Islands in its first pool match at 4.57pm on Friday before taking on Papua New Guinea at 8.06pm at the Suva’s ANZ Stadium.
