Fiji Airways Drua Captain, John Stewart is highly likely to start at wing for the Fiji 7's team against Scotland in the cup quarters of the Dubai 7's tonight.

Stewart will force his way into the starting lineup as Waisea Nacuqu has been ruled out of the tournament with an injury.

Kalione Nasoko is expected to be at rover while Vatemo Ravouvou at first five-eighth.

Jerry Tuwai who has led the side well so far will be at halfback.

Jasa Veremalua, Paula Dranisinukula and Apenisa Cakaubalavu are expected to be in the forwards.

The Cup quarterfinals will kick‑off at 8 tonight with South Africa to face Samoa, Fiji will play Scotland at 8.22pm, New Zealand is up against Kenya at 8.44pm and England will face Australia at 9.06pm.

Should Fiji beat Scotland, we will face either South Africa or Samoa in the semis.

The Cup semi‑finals will kick off at 1.19am tomorrow with final to take place at 4.33am tomorrow.
