Digicel Fiji 7's coach Waisale Serevi was part of the selection panel that picked the 12 member team for the Dubai and George 7's.

FRU's Coaching Director Ilivasi Tabua said Serevi as coach of the team submitted the names to the selectors who then look at the selection cricteria before they endorse the names.

Tabua added that those who are saying for Serevi to have a free hand in picking the players he thinks are best suitable for his game plan should know that the maestro was asked by the selectors when he submit the names if he believed the players are good enough to represent the country and he agreed that they are the best available players.

Serevi will now meet with the FRU Board on Monday to review what went wrong in Dubai and George before they will set out plans for next year.

It is likely that FRU 2008 coach of the year, Iliesa Tanivula will be rope in to assist Serevi in preparing the team for the Melrose Cup defence in Dubai next March.
