8 players in the current Digicel Fiji 7's training squad for the Wellington and San Diego 7’s will be making their first appearance on New Zealand soil next month.
While the 12 member team will be announced after the finals, Village Sports have received confirmation from the national 7's selectors that the likes of Etonia Naba, Neumi Nanuku, Setefano Cakau and Emosi Vucago will guide the young side.
The 4 players have played in the Wellington 7's before and their experience will be vital for Coach Joe Savou.
Two players who will make their debut in Wellington are Isei Lewaqai and Dan Rawaqa, while the rest of the 6 players played in the last IRB 7's series in Dubai and George.
The Fiji 7's team to Wellington and San Diego will be named after the final on Saturday with the 25 member training squad for the Hong Kong 7's.
