The Uprising 7s team will be relying on their experienced players to guide the majority of the younger players in the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s from this Friday.
Team Manager Guyaco Lesidonu says Laisiasa Coge and Esava Kobiti have been with the team from the time of former 7s reps, Waisea Nayacalevu and Avinisi Vasuinubu.
Lesidonu says the players that will feature for them are between 17 to 23 years old.
He says playing in the Marist 7s will also help them financially.
