Fiji Airways men’s 7s robust forward Sevuloni Mocenacagi will have to miss three matches in the Las Vegas tournament this weekend.

This is after the lanky player was shown a red card for his dangerous tackle against New Zealand in the Sydney 7s earlier this month.

Mocenacagi will miss the cut into the 13-member squad for the US tournament due to his suspension.
