Changes expected to Fiji 7s team
Fijviillage has received confirmation that a few changes will take place where coach Iliesa Tanivula will look at replacing certain players in the team who did not live up to expectations in Wellington and USA.
Tanivula will also wait for the medical report on Pio Tuwai, Jerry Burotu and Emosi Vucago before he decides whether they can still be part of the trip.
William Ryder who did not play in the Nawaka 7s last week is one of the players who are likely to miss the selection on Saturday as he is still not able to train with the side and is down with a sickness.
Tanivula has drafted only former 7s rep James Brown into his side after injuries to key members of the team.
There is also no decision made on whether the Fiji Barbarians team will play in the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s this weekend where the name of the team to Australia and Hong Kong will be named.
