The burning question some rugby fans are asking is who will step up and fill the big shoes of Lepani Botia in the Digicel Fiji Sevens team for the New Zealand and USA tournaments when the team is named tomorrow.

During the Uprising Fiji International Sevens last week, the aggressiveness and ball hunting skills of Botia was missing.

Botia is a player who is sound in defense and very creative in attack as well while his work rate remains the same until the final whistle.

Assistant coach Timoci Wainiqolo said he understands that Botia has left a big vacuum in the side but he has the players who can provide the cover as well.
