The Fiji Rugby Union will decide next week on whether Digicel Fiji 7s coach Alifereti Dere will continue as head coach of the team.
FRU Chairman Filimoni Waqabaca confirmed to Fijivillage that a final decision will be made after the board reviews the team report for the World Cup and there are certain processes that they need to follow.
Waqabaca has also confirmed that no one has been appointed as the 7s coach for the upcoming Pacific Mini Games.
Fijivillage contacted High Performance Unit General Manager Mike Ryan on the issue and he said that they are awaiting confirmation from the board.
Meanwhile, the Digicel Fiji 7s team for the Pacific Mini Games has been released with Coca-Cola Games blue ribbon champion Beniamino Maravu forcing his way into the squad.
