Exciting squads named for Sydney 7s
Fiji Airways Fijian 7s winger Alasio Naduva has been included into the tournament 12 and is ready to impact the Sydney 7s this weekend.
Lanky forward Apenisa Cakaubalavu will revert to 13th man.
Baber said “After gauging the performance of the players during their training and game analysis from Hamilton 7s, they have decided to include Naduva and shift Cakaubalavu to 13th player.”
Coach Gareth Baber said the players regrouped after the Hamilton outing and worked on rectifying a few key areas through-out the week.
The Fiji Airways Fijian 7s are pooled with New Zealand, Kenya and Wales.
They take on Kenya at 3.09pm on Saturday then New Zealand at 9.33pm before taking on Wales at 2.19pm on Sunday (all FJT)
