FIJI Airways Fiji Sevens team is ready to rumble at the second leg of the HSBC World Sevens series with the third round of games scheduled for next weekend in Hamilton, New Zealand.

National coach Gareth Baber said the team has progressed well through holiday season training and are ready for action.

“The players have progressed well during the holidays getting into camp for the last four weeks and they are in good condition.

“There had been a lot of distractions during the past month but we were able to get their heads in the game and keep them focused for the tough task ahead,” said Baber.

The team will fly out on Sunday to prepare for the Hamilton Sevens tournament which kicks off next week Saturday.

The side play their first pool game against Wales at 10.52 am on Saturday.
