Digicel Fiji Sevens Team coach Iliesa Tanivula said the decision to name  a 30-member training squad has been done to allow him to pick a team from a wider range of players in the IRB Sevens Series.

Tanivula said that when he took over as Sevens coach, he faced a lot of difficulties as he had to work with only 17 players, and in the World Games the situation got worse when only 13 players were training.

Tanivula said competition in the squad will be tough which will be very good for the team.
