Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Coach Gareth Baber says all fourteen players are still up for selection for this week’s tournament in Los Angeles.

Speaking from Los Angeles, Baber says the players have been showing much improvement during their training sessions this week and senior players have been stepping up to their roles.

He says new comer, Suliasi Volivolituevei is now learning and evolving in his role and in the next three days of training he will be in the place where they need him to be.

The national side will then face France at 9.47am this Sunday while Fiji’s final pool match is against Argentina at 1.05pm this Sunday.

The Cup quarterfinals start at 5.43am next Monday while the Cup semifinals will start at 7.55am next Monday.
