Adita Milinia, the winger for Vodafone Fijiana 15s, is primed to make her debut with the Fijiana 7s squad in the upcoming HSBC World 7s Series at the Perth 7s, scheduled for January 24-26. Recognized for her dynamic playing style and solid defense, Milinia’s selection comes after a remarkable performance with the Fijian Drua women’s team, showcasing her ability during the recent women’s division victory at the 2025 McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s.

Head coach Timoci Volavola has assembled a strong squad of 12 players, marking a pivotal moment not only for Milinia but also for veteran Olympian Sesenieli Donu, who returns from a lengthy injury. In addition, seasoned players Verenaisi Bari and Mereula Torooti will lend their experience to the young roster. Volavola expressed optimism about the team, highlighting the importance of leadership and experience from the returning players as integral to building on their recent successes.

The tournament will kick off with Fijiana 7s facing the USA in their first pool match on Friday at 4:06 PM, followed by a clash against Canada later that evening at 8:21 PM. Their final pool match will be against Great Britain on Saturday at 6:19 PM, with the knockout stages set for Sunday.

This new chapter for the Fijiana 7s is significant as it balances fresh talent with experienced players to enhance their competitive edge. The successful recent performance from the Fiji Coral Coast 7s adds to the growing momentum surrounding women’s rugby in Fiji, reflecting the team’s commitment to growth and excellence.

Fans will be eagerly watching as Milinia and her teammates prepare to showcase their skills on this international stage, hoping for a strong performance that can inspire further success in women’s rugby within Fiji. The excitement surrounding this tournament signals a hopeful future for the Fijiana 7s, poised to make an impact in the world of rugby sevens.
