Fiji Airways Fijian 7s Head Coach Osea Kolinisau has named his 13-member squad for the Perth 7s, with a mix of experienced players and fresh talent ready to take on the challenge.
Making his return to the team is 23-year-old Sakiusa Siqila, who last played in the Madrid 7s a year ago.
Also rejoining the squad is forward Joseva Talacolo, who has fully recovered from an injury, bringing added strength to the team’s forward pack.
Captain Filipe Sauturaga will lead the side, which Kolinisau believes is well-prepared for the tournament.
Additionally, Jerry Matana has been ruled out due to an injury.
“We’ve put in a lot of work leading up to this, and I’m confident in the squad we’ve selected.”
