The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s side has been forced to make two changes to their travelling squad for the HSBC Hong Kong 7s due to injury with veteran Napolioni Bolaca and rookie Akuila Momo called in to replace Terio Veilawa and Kaminieli Rasaku.

This was confirmed by the Fiji Rugby Union this morning.

The change has seen Momo in line for an international 7s debut and also a return to the squad for Bolaca.

The team left our shores this morning in a bid to break their 19-tournament losing streak.

The Fiji Men’s 7s team will begin their Hong Kong 7s campaign against Australia at 9.30pm next Friday, they will then take on Canada at 12.33am next Saturday and play France at 5.43pm next Saturday in their final pool match. Meanwhile, the Fijiana 7s side will play Australia at 4.25pm next Friday in their first match, followed by their match against South Africa at 7.12pm next Friday, and they will play Ireland at 3.02pm next Saturday in their final pool match.

The Hong Kong 7s will be held from next Friday to Sunday.
