London - Fiji head into the ninth and final round of this season's Sevens World Series in London eyeing a first overall title since 2006.
The Pacific Islanders have long been renowned for their skills in the abbreviated form of the game and will be looking to put them on show in front of what is set to be a capacity crowd at Twickenham this weekend.
Fresh from their victory in last week's Glasgow Sevens, Fiji have 147 points in the overall standings, with South Africa second on 142.
New Zealand, the four-time defending World Series champions, will need a very special 48 hours in London if they are to win a 13th overall title as they currently sit third with 139 points.
But all three sides have already secured a major prize in that they've automatically qualified for next year's Olympics in Rio, where rugby sevens will make its Games debut.
Nevertheless, winning this season's overall title would mean a tremendous amount to Fiji, who will look to carry on from where they left off in Scotland.
Leading overall standings ahead of the London Sevens, the ninth and final round of the 2014-15 Sevens World Series:
1. Fiji 147 points
2. South Africa 142
3. New Zealand 139
4. England 117
5. Australia 101
6. United States 86
7. Scotland 79
