New Vodafone Fiji 7s rep, Alifereti Veitokani is ready to prove his worth in the team in the Dubai 7s tournament next weekend.

The 22 year old playmaker was a late inclusion into the side after Emori Waqa was dropped from the squad.

Veitokani says although he has been playing 15’s rugby throughout the year, he is ready to contest the pivot’s position against the likes of experiences trio, Vatemo Ravouvou, Emosi Mulevoro and Osea Kolinisau.
