Fiji Airways Fiji Men’s 7s coach Ben Gollings has named his squad for the upcoming Oceania Rugby 7s Championship in Australia next week with the return of 7s Rugby World Cup winner Kaminieli Rasaku.

The team for the Oceania 7s:

Joseva Talacolo, Jeremaia Matana, Josese Batirerega, Josua Vakurunabili, Manueli Maisamoa, Terio Veilawa, Pilipo Bukayaro, Waisea Nacuqu, Waisea Lawebuka, Iowane Teba, Vuiviwa Naduvalo, Kaminieli Rasaku, Ilikimi Vunaki, Rubeni Kabu and Netava Koroisau.
