Fiji 7s: Brothers In Arms

Veteran Fiji Airways Fijian 7s utility Sevuloni Mocenacagi is joined by his younger brother and forward Isoa Tabu to play in the 2018/19 HSBC World Sevens Series Las Vegas and Vancouver leg.

Coach Gareth Baber finalised his squad yesterday with 14 players travelling subject to a number of outstanding visa issues being cleared.

“Isoa Tabu from Yamacia and Asaeli Tuivoka (Corrections) have fought their way into the touring party as the only key changes to the squad,” he said.

The other set of brothers to have played together for the national sevens team were the Rauluni (Meli, Vesi and Vili) along with Alifereti Dere and Pauliasi Tabulutu.

Fijian 7s squad:

Mesulame Kunavula, Kalione Nasoko, Sevuloni Mocenacagi, Josua Vakurinabili, Meli Derenalagi, Isoa Tabu, Paula Dranisinukula, Jerry Tuwai, Waisea Nacuqu, Terio Tamani, Vilimoni Botitu, Aminiasi Tuimaba, Alosio Naduva, Asaeli Tuivoka.
