Fiji coach Gareth Baber says pressure to win the one title that's alluded his team - Commonwealth Games gold - is not weighing heavy on his players ahead of the Gold Coast tournament this weekend.
It's a quirk of rugby that the proud sevens nation has never won the event.
They earned silver in 1998 and again four years later in Manchester, beaten both times by New Zealand, and Melbourne 2016 saw them take bronze.
They missed 2010 as Fiji was suspended from the Commonwealth, and while they were back in at Glasgow as a nation, they didn't have enough time to assemble a competitive sevens squad.
After picking up three tournament wins from the past four events, including last weekend in Hong Kong, they are among the favourites to take this year's crown.
But Baber said that didn't add to already high expectations on his players.
"If you come from Fiji and you're a rugby player, every game you play there is an expectation around it, whether it be a pool game in a HSBC tournament, Commonwealth Games, Olympic Games or world cup, so these boys are quite used to having that scrutiny put on them," he told reporters following an up-tempo training today, having touched down on the Gold Coast yesterday.
"I'm not saying it sometimes doesn't affect them, that's natural, they are human beings.
"We talk through that as we get towards tournaments, and Commonwealth Games are exception, we know what Fiji's here to deliver and that's what we're striving to make happen."
Baber said they didn't pick up any injuries in Hong Kong, but captain Jerry Tuwai was battling the flu.
They will play Wales, Sri Lanka and Uganda in pool play, with only the top team in each pool progressing to the semi-finals.
Baber is Welsh so knows what is countrymen bring, and says Sri Lanka like to play an expansive style that's not disimilar to Fiji, but wasn't overly familiar with the players in their squad.
Uganda had done well during the African leg of the world sevens series, he added.
