Preview: Scotland Sevens
New Zealand and Fiji will continue their 'duel' for overall honours in the IRB Sevens World Series in the penultimate leg in Glasgow on Saturday and Sunday.
It is tight race to the finish. New Zealand are on 128 points, six clear of their Pacific Island rivals, Fiji, after finishing third in Tokyo.
"I am pretty excited," said New Zealand's DJ Forbes.
"We have been in this situation coming to the last maybe being behind on the table and needing a few things to go our way, or a bit of luck, but to be six points ahead, we have put ourselves in that position and there is no reason why we can't go on and obviously do the business."
If the kiwis do slip up, Fiji will be keen to take advantage and close the gap leading into the final round of the season, at Twickenham on May 12 and 13.
"What we have done this season is change the way we play Sevens," said their head coach, Alifereti Dere.
"We're trying to get back to what we used to do - a different style of rugby.
"We're trying to adjust to the weather in Glasgow but training has been going well and we hope to keep the pressure on at the top of the series table."
Some 30,000 fans are expected at Scotstoun Stadium this weekend to watch the best teams on the planet.
"All the captains and coaches are looking forward to the tournament at the weekend and they're waiting for the action to start and hoping that the sun continues to stay out," said Colin Gregor, captain of the home side, Scotland.
"I think Scotstoun will be great, a lot of work has been put in, the pitch is looking amazing and it's in a tight compact little stadium, which will, I'm sure, create a great atmosphere."
The two teams vying for the World Series title look to be New Zealand (128 Series points) and Fiji (122).
Australia may not be in the World Series title race, but they will arrive in Glasgow on a high.
Michael O'Connor's men might only lie sixth on the overall standings, but they showed how capable they can be when their young and injury-depleted side saw off a veteran-laden Samoan outfit to surprisingly win the Tokyo tournament last month.
Then, of course, there is the morale-boosting win against New Zealand.
The Australians beat the Kiwis 35-19 in the curtain raiser to the Waratahs versus Crusaders Super Rugby clash in Sydney last Sunday.
Recent history also suggests the Ockers peak in the final two tournaments of the world series. They won the London title in 2010 and have finished as runners-up in Edinburgh for the last two seasons.
However, even if it wins this tournament at Scotstoun Stadium and the next one in England, Australia will still not be able to catch New Zealand or Fiji in the race for the overall title.
