National 7s rugby coach Ben Ryan may use all the players in the first game against Scotland in this weekend’s USA 7s to finalize his starting lineup.
When asked if he will use Lepani Botia, Pio Tuwai, Semi Kunatani in the forwards with Emosi Mulevoro, Osea Kolinisau, Donasio Ratubuli and Samisoni Viriviri in the backline as his first lineup, Ryan said it will be determined after the first game.
Fiji last won the USA 7s title back in 2007 in San Diego and has never tasted victory since the tournament shifted to Las Vegas.
The USA 7s will kick off this Saturday and Fiji will play Scotland at 1:06pm before meeting Australia at 4:02pm.
The final pool game is against New Zealand at 9:50am this Sunday and the quarterfinals will start at 1:52pm on the same day.
The semifinals will kick off at 7:32am next Monday while the final will be held at 10:25am.
