Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s co-captain, Meli Derenalagi says playing in New Zealand is just like playing at home because of the enormous fan base.
Speaking to World Rugby, Derenalagi says he feels there will be some pressure but they will try to play their hearts out.
Derenalagi says the key to the side's success is a strong bond that the players share and always looking out for each other.
Meanwhile, Fiji Airways Mens's National 7s team coach, Gareth Baber has opted for a balance between forwards and backs to tackle the strong opponents in their pool.
Baber says utility players like Waisea Nacuqu, Livai Ikanikoda and Napolioni Ratu can play in several positions in the back-line, offering them the flexibility in their approach to each opponent.
The 12 member team that will take the field tomorrow are Sevuloni Mocenacagi, Josua Vakurunabili, Asaeli Tuivuaka, Kavekini Tabu, Apenisa Cakaubalavu, Meli Derenalagi, Vilimoni Botitu, Waisea Nacuqu, Jerry Tuwai, Livai Ikanikoda, Aminiasi Tuimaba and Napolioni Ratu.
Fiji will play their first pool match in the Hamilton 7s against Samoa at 12.57 pm tomorrow, they will take on Australia at 6.35 pm tomorrow and play Argentina at 11.57 am this Sunday in their last pool match.
The semi-final will start at 3.20 pm Sunday while the final will start at 7.56 pm Sunday.
Barring any upsets, Fiji will either take on New Zealand or the USA in the semi-final and South Africa or England in the Hamilton 7s final.
