USA 7s Coach Mike Friday has accused the Fiji 7's team of crawling on hands and feet through a ruck during the London 7's.
Speaking to Flo Rugby, Friday says he was somewhat annoyed at how the rucks were officiated.
He says the London 7s was a reasonable showing by them but they did not really get their attacking game playing consistently as they would like and that is the challenge for this week.
Friday says they have come so far in the last few years and this reminds them that USA is a Tier 2 rugby nation, and does not have the resources that nations such as New Zealand, England, or even Fiji have.
We will be getting comments from Fiji Coach Gareth Baber on this issue.
Meanwhile, Fiji needs to finish ahead of USA in Paris this weekend to claim their fourth HSBC title.
Fiji will take on England in their first pool match at 10.50pm this Saturday, they will take on Argentina at 2.16am this Sunday and take on Ireland at 5.42am in their last pool match.
The Cup quarterfinals will start at 9.28pm this Sunday, Cup semifinals will start at 1.23am Monday and the Cup final will be played at 4.33am Monday.
Barring any upsets, Fiji is likely to meet Scotland or France in the quarter final, they are likely to take on USA or South Africa in the semifinal, and New Zealand or Australia in the final.
