Digicel Fiji 7s coach Iliesa Tanivula will unleash a new speedster in the New Zealand and USA 7s.

After naming his final 12 players yesterday, there was a lot of questions on who will he rely on in the wing position after veteran Nasoni Roko and Saimoni Nuku were dropped for this trip.

Speaking to Fijivillage, Tanivula revealed that Nadroga outside center Joeli Lutumailagi will be his first choice winger and utility player Apisai Navoro also will be used.

Tanivula said that Lutumailagi and Navoro have been exposed to the international scene and they will not have a problem on the wing.

This morning at 10am the Fiji 7s team will play a warm up match against Red Rock and the Wardens at the Buckhurst park.

Fiji is in Pool D in New Zealand with France, Canada and South Africa.
