He will be assisted by former Flying Fijians and Fiji 7s rep Sireli Naqelevuki.

The duo have put together a strong 28-member squad which will travel to Samoa at the end of the month to face the host, Japan and Tonga A.

Eight players from the traveling 28-member squad have played for the Fijian Warriors last year while the majority of the players represented the Fijian Under-20.
