With the absence of two experienced national reps, Nasoni Roko and Lepani Nabuliwaqa from the Digicel Fiji 7s side to the New Zealand and USA 7s tournament, Captain Emosi Vucago is confident of a good outing.
Vucago said though he will lead a very young team, they will spend most of their training this week ironing out mistakes that cost them wins in Dubai and George.
Coach Iliesa Tanivula will also be focusing on fine tuning their skills with test matches against USA, planned for this week as well.
Two notable inclusions are Police duo Josefa Bole and Waisale Beci while New Zealand based Randal Kamea has been named as one of the non-travelling reserves.
The final team to the New Zealand and USA 7s are in the forwards Seremaia Burotu, Pio Tuwai, Watisoni Votu, Setefano Cakau and Apisai Nayabo.
Emosi Vucago, Jiuta Lutumailagi, William Ryder, Niumaia Cakacaka, Osea Kolinisau, Waisele Beci and Josefa Bole were named in the backs.
The New Zealand International 7s tournament will be held next Friday and Saturday in Wellington.
Fiji has been drawn in Pool B with Australia, Scotland and Papua New Guinea.
