February 26, 2016 7:03 pm

New Vodafone Fiji 7s reps, Josua Vici and Masivesi Dakuwaqa, are expected to add a physical edge to the side in the North American leg of the World Series from next weekend.

Vici, who plays at rover, was a standout performer for Uluinakau Babas in the Bayleys Coral Coast 7s last month, earning a call-up to the national extended squad.

Dakuwaqa, a forward brings some much-needed physicality into the squad and will fill in the vacuum left behind by injured duo, Apisai Domolailai and Viliame Mata.
