The Digicel Fiji 7s team warm up game against USA this afternoon at Churchill Park will be the last time for Coach Iliesa Tanivula to try out his different combinations ahead of the New Zealand International 7s next weekend.
After winning the Suva International 7s last weekend, Tanivula wants to test different players in key positions like wing, rover and hooker, before he names his run on side for the opening pool game next weekend in Wellington.
Players like Pio Tuwai, Jerry Burotu, Watisoni Votu, Osea Kolinisau, Emosi Vucago and Jiuta Lutumailagi have been eyed by Tanivula to play a key role, as he try to record his first ever win in the NZ 7s.
Fiji is in Pool B in New Zealand with Scotland, PNG and Australia.
They will likely to face either New Zealand, the current IRB 7s points leader or South Africa, the IRB 7s defending champions in the quarterfinals.
The warm up game between Fiji and USA will be at 1pm at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
