Fiji Airways men’s 7s coach Gareth Baber says they need to control possession if they are to match up with any team in Cape Town this weekend.

Baber says this was one of the weaknesses in their frustrating quarterfinal loss to the USA team in Dubai over the weekend.

He says the USA dominated their kick offs and they controlled their possession which led the USA to score two tries at the second spell.
