Four players from the Fijiana 7s team have been selected for the extended national 15s squad as they prepare for an upcoming tour of the United States. The players include Mere Vocevoce, Kelerayani Luvu, Verenaisi Ditavutu, and Ilisapeci Delaiwau, contributing to a squad of 36 members for the Vodafone Fijiana 15s.
The team gathered for training yesterday afternoon, with the U.S. tour being a crucial part of their Rugby World Cup campaign. Fiji’s national team is scheduled to face the USA at 9:15 PM in Washington D.C. on July 19. Prior to the trip, the squad will be pared down to a final group of 30 players.
This move highlights the commitment to developing player versatility within the Fijiana program, ensuring a robust preparation for the World Cup later in the year. Previous articles have shown a similar trend where the Fijiana team is focusing on improving their strategies and skills, particularly following their successful title defense in the Oceania Rugby Women’s XV Challenge. The combination of experienced players and newcomers in the squad is expected to foster growth and resilience as they aim for success on the international stage.
As they work through their preparations, there is a sense of hope and excitement surrounding the team. Their dedication and desire to showcase the talent and spirit of Fiji in rugby gives fans a reason to cheer as they embark on this significant journey.
