The Vodafone Fiji 7s team had their captain’s run earlier today and the team is expected to be named later today after coach Gareth Baber has one on one sessions with the players.

Baber says it is important that the players remain fresh and focused on the task at hand.

The team had a break from training yesterday and took a boat ride to Manly.

The side is expected to be led by Osea Kolinisau, with Jerry Tuwai, Jasa Veremalua, Vatemo Ravouvou and Joeli Lutumailagi to be named as well.
