In-form Fiji Airways men’s 7s national 7s team star Joseva Talacolo is not part of the 13 member squad confirmed for the Vancouver 7s which kicks off tomorrow morning.

The reason for Talacolo’s absence is yet to be confirmed by Fiji Rugby.

Iowane Teba is back in the squad after picking up an ankle injury in the first match last week which ruled him out for the remainder of the tournament.

Tevita Daugunu will once again captain the side while Vuiviawa Naduvalo looks set to continue his excellent start in the World 7s series.

The 13 men squad also includes Jerry Tuwai, Waisea Nacuqu, Kaminieli Rasaku, Jeremaia Matana, Iowane Ratuciri, Filipo Bukayaro, Josevani Saro, Tira Welagi Patterson and Josua Vakurunabili.

The Fiji 7s team will meet England in their first match of the Vancouver 7s at 5.53am tomorrow, they will then take on Kenya at 9.04am tomorrow in their second match and play USA at 12.35pm tomorrow in their final pool match.

The Cup quarterfinals will start at 5.40am Monday, the semis will start at 9.44am Monday while the Cup final will be played 12.58pm Monday.
