The Saiasi Fuli- coached Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s team have nine weeks of prepa­ration to form a formidable side for the HSBC World Women Sev­ens Series at Kitakyushu, Japan on April 20-21.

The side are in Pool C alongside USA, who are currently second in the series standings, Ireland, who reached the Cup semi-final of the Sydney 7s and England.

“We have left the Sydney 7s be­hind us and are focused for the Japan leg,” Skipper Rusila Na­gasau said.

“It is important that we iron out our mistakes as we still have about eight weeks to prepare well.

“Most of the girls left sevens to concentrate on fifteens but now we are back and we’re working on our fitness.” The 15-member squad took to the Sigatoka sand dunes yesterday.
