Tokatoka Westfield Babas and former Vodafone Fiji 7s playmaker Waisea Nacuqu has been called into the national sevens training squad to replace Eminoni Nasilasila who cannot recover in time for the Hong Kong and Japan 7s due to a shoulder injury he suffered last weekend.
Team manager Paula Biu confirms that it is unfortunate that Nasilasila could not recover in time while Vatemo Ravouvou is also down with the flu.
Biu said they are hoping Ravouvou will recover before their training session tomorrow and the naming of the 16 member extended squad for the Hong Kong and Japan 7s.
Coach Ben Ryan said the players have been working hard during training which has been a positive sign despite the weather situation currently faced in Fiji.
Ryan will be naming a 16 member extended squad at midday tomorrow.
The Hong Kong 7s will be held from the 27th to the 29th of this month.
