The Suva Fifteens rugby team's preparation for their Digicel Cup match against Tailevu suffered a setback today as national Sevens rep Jerry Burotu is unavailable to play on Saturday.

Burotu is training with his Wardens club preparing for a Sevens tournament in Bua next week and also will take part in the Sevens fitness test on Thursday which rules him out.

Suva is one of the provincial union that has majority of their players in the Fiji A and Barbarian team playing this Friday in the Punjas A series at the TFL Stadium.

There is also still no clear indication on whether James Brown and Osea Kolinisau will play on Saturday for Suva as they have also been named in the Fiji Sevens squad.

Suva will take on Tailevu on Saturday at 3pm at the Suva Grammar ground.
