Former Crusaders winger and Fiji 7s and 15s rep, Marika Vunibaka has once again made the headlines after being named in the 30-member training squad to prepare for the Hong Kong leg of the IRB series to be held in March.

When contacted by Village sports, Digicel 7s coach Joe Savou said that Vunibaka's impressive performance and display at the BP National 7s tournament yesterday, proved him worthy of selection.

Savou adds that the players will also be issued with special training programs to follow and the management will run a fitness test before announcing the final squad for Hong Kong.
