THE Fiji Airways Fiji 7s team is tightening loose ends in the next few days before the Sydney 7s starts this weekend.

Coach Gareth Baber wants to win the tournament after the team’s scintillating performance in New Zealand last week.

The side went through training in Sydney yesterday preparing for the Sydney 7s. And as the 28 team captains gathered in yesterday for the 2019 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series Sydney 7s captains photo shoot, Baber said they had a tough business to take care of.

To win in Sydney, Baber and his boys would need to first go past their tough pool opponents which includes Japan, England and Pacific rivals Samoa.

Baber knows very well that they would need to up their game if they want another victory in this leg of the series. Samoa finished in sixth spot while England finished seventh at the final day of the Hamilton 7s.
