Vodafone Fiji sevens coach Ben Ryan has already submitted his list of 21 players, who he wants for next season.

This has been revealed by team manager, Paula Biu, who says Ryan has already started work for the 2014/2015 season and also the Olympics in 2016.

The national team returned home yesterday after the completion of the current edition of the series on Monday in England.

Biu says there is not much time as the next installment of the series will also double up as the qualifier for the Olympics.

“We have already submitted our season planner for the next series, which will start off with the off season program in July. We hope that the team managements are working closely with the FRU board on contracting the 21 players, which already has been submitted by Ben to the board. Hopefully everything will be in place before we start our off season program in late July.”

The 2014/2015 series starts with the Gold Coast tournament in October.
