The Digicel Fiji 7s coaching staffs are likely to stick with experience players in the first leg of the IRB 7's series in Dubai and South Africa.

After the side returned to camp yesterday the likes of Nasoni Roko, Jerry Burotu, Emosi Vucago, Ilai Tinai, Watisoni Votu and Orisi Sareki are the front runners to be named in the final 12 member team.

Coach Iliesa Tanivula is likely to also name some new caps into the team with Army Sukuna Bowl winning halfback Nikola Matawalu as one of the players to get the nod with Navosa's Malakai Kuribau.

Tanivula will miss the services of some key Nadroga players who have travelled with the Davetalevu team but is confident with the group of players in camp at the moment.

The Digicel Fiji 7s team is in pool D with Portugal, France and England in the opening leg of the IRB 7s series in Dubai on the 4th and 5th of next month.
