A major setback for the Fiji Airways 7s team as Captain Kalione Nasoko may be in doubt to feature in their cup quarter-final clash against New Zealand tomorrow.
Nasoko suffered an injury in their second pool match against Canada and the extent of the injury is still unknown.

In the last pool match against Samoa, Nasoko was not included in the run on side as playmaker Jerry Tuwai may have stand in as captain for the rest of the tournament.
Things could get even worse for the side as robust rover Vilimoni Botitu was not playing in the last two pool games for Fiji.
FBC Sports has been reliably informed that Coach Gareth Baber will assess the injuries tonight and will further advise if changes are to be made.
Fiji takes on New Zealand in the second quarterfinal at 6.30 tomorrow morning.
The first quarterfinal clash sees South Africa playing Argentina at 6:08am.
Samoa meets France in the last quarterfinal at 7:14am.
England battles the USA in the third quarterfinal at 6:52am.
Here come @fijirugby. They take on Samoa. A win will be good enough to secure them a cup quarter-final at the #Canada7s
