‘Several of our 7s players have been offered Drua contracts and I think our Drua management are negotiating with their agents hopefully they get on board’.

O’Connor adds those that will remain with 7s are expected to have new contracts.

‘7s players are contracted until December with the view of renewing their contracts until after the World Cup next year and then plan contracting them until the Olympics in 2024’.

Some 7s players expected to take up Drua contracts are Sireli Maqala, Napolioni Bolaca and Kalione Nasoko.
