Fiji Airways Fiji 7s rover Filipe Sauturaga has been named as captain of the shadow national side that will compete in this weekend’s Fiji Bitter Lomaiviti 7s in Levuka.

Team manager Willie Baleinabuli reminded the players at the jersey presentation yesterday that they must treat their participation at the tournament as if they are playing on the international stage.

Baleinabuli says consistency is what they are trying to build into the team culture, especially with development players joining the ranks.
