New Zealand have stormed to an early lead in the Series with Cup wins in Dubai and South Africa. Gordon Tietjens' side tops pool A and kicks the action off on day one against Wales before also taking on Scotland and France.

Fiji finished runners-up to the kiwis in both events in December and face a tough challenge in pool B against island rivals Samoa, Australia and a combined West Indies side.

After a strong start to the season rejuvenated Argentina are number three seeds in San Diego and top pool C, which also features Kenya, Canada and Chile.

South Africa, meanwhile, currently lie in third place in the series with two semi final appearances and they face England, Mexico and hosts USA, who will be hoping for more heroics from flying wing Takudswa Ngwenya in pool D.

"Having an IRB Sevens World Series event played in a baseball stadium for the first time was a new experience for the teams last year and one that proved hugely successful and popular with the players," said IRB Sevens Manager Beth Coalter.

"General interest and ticket sales are already well up on previous USA Sevens and, given the support that the Pacific Island teams have in the States in particular, Fiji-Samoa on day one is bound to create a great atmosphere. More support is also guaranteed for the home team now that the Eagles have started winning on a regular basis. San Diego offers something different, definitely not one to miss," Coalter added.

"For the fans not able to be there, television coverage of the Series also continues to increase. USA, Scotland and the Middle East all increased their coverage of the first two events, Romanian broadcasters came on board for the first time and in-flight British Airways and Cathay Pacific joined Emirates in showing highlights."
