Update: 6:51PM OUR sevens warriors have been told to dig deep and deliver in the opening match against Hong Kong tonight.

After receiving their jerseys on the 12th floor at the Marco Polo Hotel last night, the players were urged to play the same they trained for this leg of the IRB World Sevens Series.

Fiji's Ambassador to China, Esala Teleni, prayed and blessed each member of the team and presented them with their jerseys for the match.

With the team management of Alifereti Dere, Tomasi Cama and manager Semi Rogoyawa present, the players led by skipper Nemani Nagusa received their jerseys with pride.

Fiji plays Hong Kong at 9.06 tonight.
