Following the action in Singapore last weekend, which saw Fiji crowned victors over New Zealand in the final, South Africa will be hoping the weekend was a blip on an impeccable season as all squads prepare for a big year with the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and Rugby World Cup Sevens all taking place in 2022.
South Africa were the winners in Vancouver in 2021, and are the 2022 Series leaders with 98 points ahead of Australia and Argentina who are equal in second place on 83 points.
Fiji captain Tevita Daugunu said: “We are hoping to maintain our standards from last week. Preparation is going really well so far, getting back to the training board, looking at our mistakes from last week….This Series is really special now, all the teams are competitive. Last week was a different ball game altogether and may the best team win this weekend.”

Canada captain Phil Berna said: “Coming home is always huge for us, it is the date that we have highlighted in our calendars and all the boys are really excited to play in front of a home crowd. We need their support and it helps so much, the energy of the crowd pumps the boys up and you get that extra energy, speed and fitness so hopefully, the fans bring their enthusiasm and noise again.”
