Barring any upsets in the pool matches, the Fiji Airways men’s 7s team will face either New Zealand or Australia in the cup quarterfinal at the Vancouver 7s in the weekend.

Fiji lost to Australia in the final pool match of the Las Vegas 7s and then went down against New Zealand in the quarterfinals.

While Coach Gareth Baber might be concentrating on the pool games, he will ensure the team puts its best game to avoid any early upsets.
