THE Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s team is targeting a Top 8 finish in this weekend’s Women Sevens World Series Canada tournament.
The side faces England in its opening game before facing Brazil and Commonwealth Gold medallist New Zealand in their remaining pool games.
Head coach Iliesa Tanivula said the team had set its target and would work hard to fulfil its goal.
“We have been drawn in a tough pool and it’s a huge challenge for the team,” Tanivula said.
