Experience will play a key role for the Digicel Fiji 7s Barbarian team when the 16 players are named for the Uprising Fiji International 7s.

With players like Setefano Cakau, Jimilai Nakaidawa and Livai Ikanikoda’s availability still unclear at this stage and Watisoni Votu showing his interest to join the NRL club in Australia the coaching duo will look at the depth in the team and the fitness level when they will name their final 16 players.

Players like Miti Nacagilevu, Joeli Lutumailagi, Emosi Vucago, Osea Kolinisau, Nikola Matawalu, Pio Tuwai and James Brown were senior members of the team in the last leg of the IRB 7s.

The Fiji Barbarians 7s team will be named tomorrow.

The Uprising Fiji International 7s will be held on the 20th and 21st of January at the TFL Stadium in Suva.
