Co-captain Etonia Naba said that he has confidence in the young boys.
Naba, who was co-captain with Emosi Vucago under the leadership of former 7s coach Waisale Serevi to the first Leg of the IRB series to George and Dubai, said that this is a testing ground and they are all set to perform.

We may be young but we have the spirit.

Tuwai who was also part of the Fijian Barbarians team said that many of the players though not known in the public arena, view this as a chance to live up to their rugby idols and to the public.
Tuwai along with Willam Saukuru, Filimoni Botitu and Nemia Ranuku will all be debuting for the country and will be led by two co-captains Etonia Naba and Vereniki Goneva.
