Digicel Fiji Sevens team coach Alifereti Dere will have to make some hard decisions this week when he reduces his 20-member squad to 16.

After watching the Fiji TV Sevens Series last Saturday, some of the key players like Emosi Vucago, Jimilai Naikadawa and Miti Nacagilevu impressed the selectors throughout the competition with their attack and defense.

Players like Apisai Nayabo, Ilai Tinai and Joji Ragamate will have to prove this week to the coach that they can improve on their defense to be in the team while sprinter Niko Verekauta is already showing signs that he can be the answer to the problem on the wing.

Fitness trainer Naca Cawanibuka said the challenge is on the coaching staff to get the players in top shape when they join camp this Wednesday.
