The Fijiana 7s team is embracing a new chapter as they prepare for the 2024-25 HSBC SVNS opener in Dubai, with a squad featuring nine debutantes out of 13 members. This significant overhaul is directed by Interim Head Coach Timoci Volavola, who is focusing on fresh talent and a revamped strategy to kick off the season.
The newcomers making their first appearance for the Fijiana 7s include Mere Vocevoce, Sera Bolatini, Silika Qalo, Ruth Raketekete, Varanisese Qoro, Vika Nakacia, Milika Drugunavanua, and Livia Naidei. In contrast, the team will benefit from the experience of Lavena Cavuru, Ana Maria Naimasi, Mereani Rogosau, and Ilisapeci Delaiwau, who are the only remaining players from the previous squad.
The team is set to depart from Nadi International Airport tomorrow, eagerly anticipating their opening match against Australia, scheduled for next Saturday, November 30th, at 9:05 PM.
This fresh lineup represents an exciting opportunity for the Fijiana 7s. The blend of new talent and seasoned players may foster a stronger team dynamic, enhancing their competitive edge in this prestigious tournament. The inclusion of new players could lead to innovative gameplay that engages both the team and fans alike, giving hope for a promising season ahead.
