Digicel Fiji 7s newcomer Vereniki Goneva is one of the 7 players selected to be a player to watch in the remainder of the IRB World 7s Series.

23-year-old Goneva making his debut in the Dubai 7s this season has been rated as one of the upcoming stars scoring five tries in Dubai and one in the George 7s before getting injured.

The other players named that are catching the eyes of rugby fans are 19-year-old Israel Dagg from New Zealand. Dagg, a member of New Zealand's IRB under 19 World championship winning side, did not get much chance to shine in Dubai but seized the opportunity seven days later in George to showcase his pace and quick feet.

Also Canada's Daniel Van Der Merwe, England's Joe Simpson and Samoa's Alafoti Fa'osiliva are the other players named to shine in next year's IRB World 7's series.
