The Fiji Rugby Union will not send the Fiji 7's team to next month's Darwin 7's tournament.

Instead it will be the Drifters team representing Fiji in the tournament in Australia.

Fiji 7's coach Joe Savou said the Drifters are the reigning champions of the Darwin 7's and it's highly likely that they will again be in Australia to defend the title.

Savou said former 7's coach Waisale Serevi may be given the chance to take the Drifters team to the Darwin 7's tournament.

Serevi who is in Taiwan at the moment negotiating his contract, earlier this month took the Drifters team to Dubai and they won the International Invitational tournament.
