O’Connor says for now they will have to make do with local sevens.

“Our players are able to play as a team in local tournaments and we need that international competitions to prepare us well for the Olympics”.

O’Connor says they are looking at available options before July.

“We are looking at Oceania, we’re looking at some tournaments organized in Dubai we are just working around plans to see what is the solution for us”.

The national players will represent their respective teams at the Super 7s Series at Prince Charles Park in Lautoka this weekend.
