Flying start crucial for Aussies in IRB Sevens on the Gold Coast Australian captain Ed Jenkins says there will be no room for complacency when the 2012-2013 IRB Sevens World Series begins tomorrow. AUSTRALIAN captain Ed Jenkins says it is vital that his side gets off to a flying start at the Gold Coast Sevens this weekend. The first leg of the 2012-2013 IRB Sevens World Series will kick off at Skilled Park tomorrow with 16 teams from around the globe set to clash in the fastest and most frenetic form of football on the planet. Australia have drawn traditional powerhouse Fiji, Scotland and Tonga in their pool with the top two teams to go through to Sunday's cup quarter-finals. A strong showing in the pool matches will not only set Australia up for a tilt at their first tournament win on home soil since 2002 but will also lay the platform for a high seeding in the eight tournaments to follow. Jenkins said Australian coach and dual international Michael O'Connor had laid down the law about a fast start to the 2012-2013 circuit. He has reminded us that in years gone by we haven't got off to the greatest of starts, which has cost us down the track. It's crucial we are up and running early," Jenkins said. It's vital we do well this weekend because, moving forward, the better you do in this tournament, it sets up your ranking for the rest of the year. We are very aware of that and there is some pressure there but I'm sure the boys can handle it. Australia can wrap up second place in Pool B with wins over Tonga and Scotland before they even take on reigning Gold Coast champions Fiji tomorrow night but Jenkins said the home nation could not afford to be complacent. Tonga and Scotland are the unknown. We don't know what we are going to get from them so they are two huge games for us," he said. We can't focus on Fiji too much. We need to get the job done against Tonga and Scotland. A bounce of the ball here or a referee's decision there can go against you so we have to make sure we do everything right and get those early wins because Fiji will be tough. Despite their youth, Jenkins said the Australian side contained plenty of IRB Sevens World Series experience with no debutants in the squad. Australia won the Japan leg of last season's circuit with a 28-26 win over Samoa in the final to be one of the five nations that tasted tournament success in 2011-2012. New Zealand won the overall IRB Sevens World Series crown for a 10th time and will be looking to go one better on the tourist strip after succumbing to Fiji in last year's final.
