The Lanka Lions will be hoping to make an impression with extra power from two Fijians giving them the power at the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens this weekend as they make a serious bid to win the elusive Gulf Men's Open title.
Lanka Lions became the Cup runners-up in 2013 and were the semi-finalists last year.
