Fiji 7s rep Terio Tamani is expected to feature in the second leg of the Dubai 7s next weekend.

Even though Tamani and Kaveni Tabu’s USA visas haven’t come through, the Fiji Rugby Union is confident the crafty playmaker will make it to Dubai.

The FRU is looking for alternative routes for Tamani to get to Dubai, however, if he makes there this weekend, he’ll not be able to play because interim coach Saiasi Fuli has finalized his playing squad.
