The Digicel Fiji 7s team Coach Iliesa Tanivula has eyed Emosi Vucago and Nasoni Roko as capable kickers after Peni Rokodiva was ruled out today from the Hong Kong and Adelaide 7s tournaments.
Kicking has always beem a problem for Fiji, which has cost them reaching the semifinals stages of the IRB World 7s Series this season.
Tanivula said they have concentrated a lot on kicking during training and is not a problem.
Meanwhile Suliasi Ramasima had his prayers answered when he was drafted into the 12-man team today replacing Rokodiva who was ruled out due to a knee injury.
