The Telecom Fijiana 7s side will head back into training camp this week to prepare for the opening leg of the Women’s World Series in Dubai next month.

After a successful return from the Oceania 7s last week, where the side qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics, coach Iliesa Tanivula says the team will re-group tomorrow carrying a few injuries.

“There is a few niggling injuries. Its something that’s out of our control and something for our medical team to assess and see which players are available for Dubai and which players to rest. We have to manage the players well, its a long season; we want players to be fresh in every tournament before we hit Rio.”
