A new captain will lead the Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s in the 2018-19 World Rugby Women’s Series.

This change came after former captain Ana Maria Roqica was not selected in the extended squad to prepare for the first leg in Colorado, USA.

Interim coach Alifereti Doviverata says this is an opportunity for others to step up and contest for the captaincy role.
