Fiji Airways National Men’s 7s coach Gareth Baber will have a good depth of players ahead of the 2017/2018 World Sevens Series when some of the Drua players join the national sevens camp in a few weeks.

Speaking to Fijivillage, Baber says this will benefit the team in the long run with so many quality players available to choose from in the series.
