The Fijiana 7s team is embarking on an exciting new chapter as they prepare for the 2024-25 HSBC SVNS season opener in Dubai. The squad, which consists of 13 members, features nine newcomers who will be making their debut in international sevens rugby. Interim Head Coach Timoci Volavola has opted for a complete overhaul of the team, introducing fresh talent and a revamped strategy ahead of their inaugural tournament.
Among the debutantes are Mere Vocevoce, Sera Bolatini, Silika Qalo, Ruth Raketekete, Varanisese Qoro, Vika Nakacia, Milika Drugunavanua, and Livia Naidei. Alongside them, experienced players Lavena Cavuru, Ana Maria Naimasi, Mereani Rogosau, and Ilisapeci Delaiwau will provide valuable guidance as the team navigates this transitional phase.
The Fijiana 7s team is scheduled to depart from Nadi International Airport tomorrow and will face a challenging first match against Australia on Saturday, November 30th, at 9:05 PM.
This fresh lineup presents an opportunity for growth and development, as the new players bring their talents to the forefront of the competition. The infusion of youth and energy could bode well for the team’s performance, creating a hopeful outlook for their season ahead. Embracing this transition marks a crucial step for the Fijiana 7s, and it will be exciting to see how the new team dynamic unfolds on the international stage.
