The Samoa 7’s rugby side will be in Fiji this week to compete at the Ovalau 7’s.

This is Samoa’s build up to the Oceania Rugby Sevens Olympic qualifying tournament which will be held in Auckland next month.

And the Samoans can expect some tough encounters, with the local Fijian sides sure to provide stiff opposition.

Samoa are expected to battle it out with Australia for that prized spot in Rio.
