The 12 member Digicel Fiji 7's team for the London 7's tournament will be announced later this week.
Coach, Josateki Savou is expected to slot in some new names in his final team as a number of household names have been axed from the team that played in the Hong Kong and Australia 7's.
Dale Tonawai is one of the surviving players from the last IRB 7's tournament and he has been tipped to retain the captain's position.
The 16-member squad that was announced last week includes the likes of Setefano Cakau, Leone Nakarawa, Watisoni Votu, Sakenasa Aca, Nikola Matawalu, David Batiratu, Joeli Lutumailagi, Aporosa Tabulawaki and Peni Gaunimeke.
New players include Lepani Botea, Livai Ikanidoka and Metuisela Talebula.
The London 7s tournament will start next Saturday and Fiji is in Pool D with South Africa, Russia and Portugal.
