Digicel Fiji 7s coach Iliesa Tanivula is likely to hand William Ryder a new role in the USA 7s this weekend.

Tanivula used Ryder as an impact player last week to replace first choice playmaker Jiuta Lutumailagi but the Bua lad did not impress his mentor in the crucial stages of the tournament.

At training with only Josefata Bole as the specialist winger, Tanivula has the option to use either Ryder or replacement Joeli Lutumailagi from the reserve bench.

Ryder played on the wing for the Fiji team in their last IRB 7s series outing in Dubai and George and Lutumailagi also played in that position for Nadroga during the Farebrother Sullivan trophy win against Naitasiri.

Manager Alifereti Malo said the side is keeping a low profile despite being tagged as the favourites in USA.
