There's no room for mistakes for the South Seas drifters side as they prepare to take the field in the 2011 Heineken Hottest 7s which kicks off in Darwin later today.

National Coach Iliesa Tanivula has taken an experienced outfit to Darwin lead by 7s skipper Emosi Vucago,  Watisoni Votu, Nasoni Roko, Mitieli Nacagilevu, Seremaia Burotu, Sitiveni Waqa, Nemani Nagusa, Semesa Gonevou, Kelemedi Bola, Lepani Nabuliwaqa and Mitieli Nacagilevu.

Speaking to Fijivillage from their hotel in Darwin, Tanivula said Australian and Kenya national teams are also featuring in the tournament which will be a good testing grounds for the Drifters.

Tanivula said, with spots in the national side up for grabs, and their poor outing in Dubai and South Africa, it is time for the players to step up.
