Nine overseas based players have been included in Alifereti Dere’s 30 member World Cup 7s squad.
This includes Alipate Ratini, Watisoni Votu, Seremaia Burotu, Joeli Lutumailagi, Timoci Matanavou, Vereniki Goneva, Nikola Matawalu, Metuisela Talebula and Waisea Nayacalevu.
Dere earlier said that only three overseas based players will be brought in.
Sunia Kubu, the younger brother of former national 7s rep Sakenasa Aca and Nadroga's Ratu Meli Kurisaru are the only new players in the squad.
Players who returned from the last leg of the sevens series are in the squad along with other players who represented Fiji earlier in the series.
Fiji Rugby Union's General Manager High Performance Unit Mike Ryan said they need the best players for the World Cup 7s.
The squad will march into camp tomorrow at Queen Elizabeth Barracks where they will prepare for the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s - The Road To Moscow.
The Marist 7s will be held next Friday and Saturday.
