July 8, 2016 7:22 pm

Vodafone Fiji 7s coach, Ben Ryan will select more backline players in the team to Olympic Games in Brazil next month.

Ryan says he has been testing players on different position and some of them have impressed him so far.

“I might go 6 and 6 and I might go 5 forwards and 7 backs so I need to see some of the boys fronting up now and playing in different positions. You see Kitione Taliqa, playing half back this week and he played very well yesterday and we tried him out based upon Emosi’s injury but he went well and he is putting pressure on Jerry and Amenoni.”
