Vodafone Fiji 7s rep Jone Qorovarua will be one player to watch out for when the Dubai 7s kicks-off next weekend.

National coach Ben Ryan says the 23 year old has been knocking on selection doors for a while with some powerhouse performances for Yamacia in local and international tournaments.

‘’Jone can play wing, hooker or rover. We’re looking at playing at hooker predominantly as that’s where he played for Yamacia in the Coral Coast 7s. Strong game, about 96 kilograms, very quick and he was the third highest in the fitness test, hitting high 21s’’.
