Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Team Coach, Gareth Baber says new inclusion, Jiuta Wainiqolo is finding his feet in terms of fitness and how 7s is played.
Baber says it will take him a while to get there.
He says Wainiqolo had the 15s season, had a bit of time off and it takes a while for players to adjust to the way the 7’s team trains and plays.

Wainiqolo scored four tries for the Drua in last year’s National Rugby Championship.
Wainiqolo represented the Fiji 15s team in the 33-31 win against the Barbarians in November.
He also represented RKS in the Deans Competition.
