Fiji Airways Men’s 7s winger Iowane Teba is recovering well after being injured in the first game against Ireland in Singapore last week.

Head Coach Ben Gollings says they decided to rest the Nukubalavu villager from Savusavu for the rest of the tournament to give him a great opportunity to play this week.

Gollings says Teba is tracking well and the coaching staff will make a final decision on whether to use the speedster in Vancouver.
