The Fiji Airways Men's National 7s side have named a 13 member squad for the HSBC SVNS Dubai 7s this month, with Ratu Sakiusa Vatunitu Siqila and Waisea Nacuqu making their return to the team.

Also named in the squad is experienced playmaker Terio Tamani and Pilipo Bukayaro, with Jeremaia Matana, Joseva Talacolo, Sevuloni Mocenacagi, Ilikimi Torosi Naruma Vunaki, and Alusio Rauto Vakadranu, providing power in the front row.

George Bose, Vuiviwa Naduvalo and Ratu Manueli Nete Maisamoa will provide speed in the backline.

23-year-old Apete Narogo, who plays for Semi Radradra's Ubuntu team, will make his first international appearance for Fiji at the Dubai 7s.

Narogo was also selected for the Fiji 7s team that participated in the Ignite 7s in New Zealand earlier this month.

The Fiji Men’s 7s team will begin their Dubai 7s campaign against Argentina at 9.10pm on the 29th of this month.

They will then take on South Africa at 12.16am the following day, and play France in their last pool match at 4.12am.
