The Tale Babas rugby side has no big names but they are capable of claiming the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s title.

Last year the side reached the semifinals of the Marist 7s with the services of former Vodafone Fiji 7s rep Timoci Matanavou but this year they have some young talents to showcase.

Coach Filipe Korokai said some of his players can force their way into the national squad.


Tale Babas is pooled with Duavata, Laucala Island rugby club and Lalati.

The Marist 7s will start tomorrow with defending champions Tokatoka Resort Westfield Babas playing the West Roosters Wellington side at 8am.

Meanwhile, Vodafone Fiji 7s coach, Ben Ryan will announce a 16 member squad this Saturday to prepare for the Japan 7s which will be held on the 22nd and 23rd of this month.
