Former Digicel Fiji 7s captain Emosi Vucago and France based Osea Kolinisau will start from the bench to meet USA in their first pool game at the Australia 7s in Adelaide.
Team manager Talemo Waqa said the duo will feature in the games against Tonga and Australia, and the boys know the importance of winning all their pool games.
Looking at the team that has been announced in the last hour, in the forwards, Watisoni Votu as captain, Setefano Cakau, Jerry Burotu, at halfback is Kelemedi Bola, Ilai Tinai, Mitieli Nacagilevu and David Batiratu on the wing.
Meanwhile, defending champion coach Stephen Betham of Samoa said it is not easy to defend their title and he is adamant any team can win at the end of the day.
Tonga coach Siua Tuimalolo said being in the same pool with Fiji is not easy, but his young brigade will try their best to improve from their last outing in Hong Kong.
The Australia 7s in Adelaide kicks off at 12:39pm.
Fiji’s first game is at 2:51pm against USA.
Then at 5:57pm Fiji meets Tonga and their last pool game is at 9:40pm against Australia.
