Semi Radradra, Gareth Baber and Josua Tuisova.

There is still an option for overseas-based players to join the Fiji Men’s National 7s team for the Tokyo Olympics.

Players like Semi Radradra, Josua Tuisova and Eroni Sau had earlier shown their intention of playing in the Olympics.

Coach Gareth Baber says if a player is available, he will look into it.

The extended squad is currently preparing for their matches against Australia and New Zealand in June before the Olympic Games in Japan.

The squad has been training at Albert Park, Bidesi Park and the Sigatoka Sand Dunes.

Baber is expected to name the team that will take Fiji to the Olympic Games by the end of June or early July.

The 2021 Olympic Games will be held from July to August.
