The Digicel Fiji 7s rugby side will have to dig deep if it is to make the cup quarter-finals at the South Africa tournament this weekend.

Being pooled with New Zealand, England and Scotland, it will not be easy for the team and the head-to-head statistics put the teams on equal par.

Fiji has played New Zealand 68 times, and won 29 times and the very latest meeting was in Gold Coast, where the Fijians won 32-14 in the final.
