“They cope very well, I’m very mindful of keeping communications open with them and you know from our team meeting to Lotu’s, they are very much a big part of that. It’s important that there is an understanding that they just not here as players.”

Fiji is pooled with Kenya, Scotland and France in the Dubai 7s which kicks off this weekend.

They open their campaign against France on Friday at 7.06pm, followed by Scotland at 10.06pm and Kenya at 4.06am on Saturday.
