Digicel Fiji 7s coach Iliesa Tanivula is likely to name most of his players that won the Yaubula 7s in Kadavu in his final 12 member team for the Dubai and South Africa 7s.

After his South Sea Drifters side failed to defend the Gold Coast 7s title and with team like Samoa, New Zealand and Australia showing signs of a well oil machine team, Tanivula will rely heavily on his seasonal players in this trip.

Players like Jerry Burotu, Emosi Vucago, Ilai Tinai and Orisi Sareki are in their best shape to be in the team while Nikola Matawalu and Josaia Lotawa have proved they can also make the cut for Dubai.

Tanivula will name his final 12 member squad this Thursday and they will take part in the Sri Lanka 7s next weekend as their last build up to Dubai and South Africa.

The IRB 7s kicks off in Dubai on the 4th and 5th of December.
