The battle is on for the 12 spots in the Vodafone Fiji 7s team as the Olympics squad is currently going through a torrid session at the Sigatoka Sand Dunes.
You can watch the live video of this session on our facebook account, fijivillage.com now as we bring you this session live on your computers and phones.
Pio Tuwai is back in training.
Tuwai took part in all the sessions from 6 this morning until about 7.30am as he fights for a spot in the Fiji team.
Tuwai was taken to the Suva Private hospital on Monday night after complaining about numbness in his leg.
After their run at the sand dunes this morning, the team will undergo another session at the Uprising Ground in the afternoon.
Lanky forward, Semi Kunatani says it will come down to attitude on and off the field.
