Suka, Sareki to join RWC 7s team tomorrow
When contacted by Fijivillage, National Coaching Director Ilivasi Tabua confirmed the duo will receive their visas tomorrow after which they are scheduled to fly.
Tabua added the duo have been supervised at training by the High Performance Unit to keep their fitness up to par as they have already missed sessions with the team.
Sareki is being eyed by Digicel Fiji Sevens coach, Iliesa Tanivula to fill in the vacuum left by France based Sireli Bobo and the Navakasiga native feel it is a huge task and he is prepared to take on all odds.
Meanwhile, rugby league World Cup vice-captain and convert, Waisale Suka will contribute a lot to the defence and attack in the team, an area which Tanivula feels will give Fiji the edge over their counterparts.
The Digicel Fiji Sevens team meets Georgia in their first pool game at 4:16am on Friday, then at 8:50pm they meet USA and meet in their last pool game at 2:20am on Saturday they meet France.
