With only a week away from the Uprising Fiji International 7s, organisers have been able to confirm that more big names have lined up to feature in teams that will be taking part at the two-day tournament.

Former 7s reps Viliame Satala and Filimoni Botitu will play for the US Grizzlies side.

Former Auckland Blues and New Zealand 7s rep Viliame Waqaseduadua will play alongside Etonia Naba in the Police 7s team.

Ben Botica, who plays his rugby in North Harbour will play alongside Matua Parkinson, who will also captain the New Zealand Maori team in the tournament.

Botica, is the son of former All Blacks Franco Botica.

Coordinator, Randall Kamea said the inclusion of these players will not only lift the standard of the tournament to another level but will attract more tourists to Suva.

The two-day Uprising Fiji International 7s kicks off at the TFL Stadium next Friday.
