7s Coach eyes 4 players for playmakers role
After assessing his side's last outing in Australia and Hong Kong, the Namotomoto man has pointed out that there is a need for a specialist play-maker.
In training yesterday, Tanivula was trying out Nasoni Roko, Vereniki Goneva, Peni Rokodiva and new-comer Jiuta Lutumailagi in the position.
Tanivula said the 15 players in the team are all desperate to be in the final 12 for the England and Scotland 7's which will make it hard for the selectors to finalise the team.
He has also asked the selectors that he will name the final 12 players on Friday to give him more time in trying out different combinations throughout this week.
Fiji is in Pool C in the England 7's with Kenya, Scotland and USA.
The England 7s will kick-off on the 23rd of May.
