Strong Barbarians line up for Nawaka 7s
The team which was named by national 7s coach iliesa Tanivula, has a mix of players who traveled to the second leg of the IRB World Sevens Series as well as players who have shown outstanding form during the recent Fiji TV Provincial 7s Series.
The Namosi Two trio are team captain Sakenasa Aca, Waisale Dau and Apenisa Dralia with Tanivula saying the three could put real pressure on the more established players within the national team if they continue to show the sort of form that saw the Namosi Two team win two of the four tournaments in the Fiji TV Provincial Series.
The full Digicel Barbarians team includes the likes of Apisai Naiyabo, Nemani Nagusa, Semesa Gonevou, Kelemedi Bola, Ilai Tinai, Peni Gaunimeke, Timoci Vakadranu, Lorima Vatalesau, Saimoni Nuku, Sakenasa Aca, Waisale Dau and Apenisa Dralia.
