Lanky Vodafone Fiji 7s team forward Pio Tuwai is in doubt to play for the Westfield Barbarians at the upcoming Fiji Bitter Marist 7s tournament next month.

Tuwai was injured during the USA 7s.

Tuwai was instrumental in the win last year but the side will not lack cover as they have other capable players like Samu Saqiwa, Jiuta Takubu, Senivalati Ramuwai and Filipo Nakosi.

Westfield will also be without star play maker Waisea Nacuqu after he was recruited as a Wardens officer and is likely to feature for the Wardens at the Marist 7s.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s will be held on the 7th and 8th of next month.

The 64 teams will battle it out for the $10,000 prize money.
