Namosi hitman Asaeli Tuivuaka is set for a new world rugby 7s series season.

The 23-year-old who made his debut this year will be one of the stars for the future according to World Series commentators

Tuivuaka played 19 games for Fiji this season and scored five tries.

He has been nicknamed by World Series commentators Sean Maloney and Karl Te Nana as ‘The Tank’.

Tuivuaka who was hosted by family and friends over the weekend says he will take each step at a time.

He adds he is not focusing on the Olympics at the moment as he wants to monitor his diet because he learnt a lot from being in a professional environment in the last few months.

But he says if the opportunity to represent Fiji at the Olympics arises he will grasp it with both hands.

Tuivuaka is the younger brother of former Fiji 7s rep Abele Yalayalatabua.
