Fiji have tempered hopes they can cut the gap on runaway series leaders New Zealand at this weekend's Tokyo Sevens, despite last week's magical victory in Hong Kong. The free-running Pacific Islanders put on a Sevens masterclass when they came back from 19-0 down at half-time to beat Wales 26-19 at a packed Hong Kong Stadium on Sunday. But coach Alifereti Dere highlighted the difficulty of winning consecutive events on the Sevens World Series, which is increasingly competitive in the build-up to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Slim budget, yellow grass fails to stall Kenyan sevens team

March 23, 2013 16:15
By Michael Flaherty HONG KONG (Reuters) - On his first trip to Nairobi last year after being named Kenya's new rugby sevens coach, Mike Friday entered the training facility and immediately had second thoughts.

World Series leaders New Zealand came back from a try down for a convincing win against France as the Hong Kong Sevens kicked off Friday, while Argentina dominated title challengers South Africa.
