Former Fiji 7s Coach Waisale Serevi will play in this weekend's Bankok 7s tournament.

Serevi will lead a combined Islanders side, in the annual tournament which was first held in 1995.

The Fijians influence has been critical to the tournament's growth and they have snared the men's cup five times.

The tournament aims to develop Bankok and Thailand as a significant rugby destination within South East Asia.
