The Fiji 7s side has covered all aspects of their game in training according to Head Coach Gareth Baber.

Speaking from Dubai to FBC Sports, Baber says their warm-up match against Wales yesterday gave an indication of where they are at.

Baber says the players reacted well in tackle situations and he hopes they continue with that momentum heading into their first match against Japan.

‘You know you get in house with that you start doing your tackle technique as a squad you start doing your ball carrying skills and your offload skills in the game activity that we do in our training so we very much across all that so come Thursday night at 7 o’clock here in Dubai that’s exactly what we’ll need to be in our intentions of winning against Japan’.

Team Captain Paula Dranisinukula says last season’s World Series triumph especially the back to back wins in Paris and London was special for them.

He says it is something that will give them the much-needed motivation going into the new season especially in Dubai.

Meanwhile, Kavekini Tabu will make his World Rugby Sevens Series debut for Fiji in Dubai tomorrow.

The 25-year-old will team up with his elder brothers Isoa and Sevuloni Mocenacagi who have also made the cut.

Napolioni Ratu has been named as the 13th player while Apenisa Cakaubalavu will not feature in Dubai.

The Fiji Men’s 7s side meets Japan at 4:02am tomorrow.

Their second pool match is at 10:04pm tomorrow as well against Argentina and France at 4:02am on Saturday.
