Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team playmaker, Vatemo Ravouvou is not part of the current training squad and will not be featuring in the Hamilton and Sydney 7s due to disciplinary issues at the Cape Town 7s.

This has been confirmed by FRU Chief Executive Officer, John O’Connor who says at the moment it is not sure when Ravouvou will join the team again.

O’Connor says the alleged disciplinary issue is alcohol related.

Meanwhile, O’Connor also confirmed that they are awaiting the outcome of Amenoni Nasilasila’s court case before deciding on his future with the team.
