Fitness concern

FITNESS will be the only major concern for Fijiana coach Elenoa Kunatuba when she begins preparations for the IRB Women's Sevens World Series later this month.

The Fijiana side will participate in the third leg of the series that will be played in Guangzhou, China on March 30 and 31.

Kunatuba said she had already identified 22 players she would work with for the series.

She said she used last weekend's Uprising Fiji International 7s tournament to find out what improvement was needed in the side.

"From what I saw, fitness is the only major concern," Kunatuba said.

"But it is understandable because these players have just come through the festive season and will need a few more weeks of training to get their fitness back," she said.

She added she is not worried at all about the eight girls that are currently training with the Anhui provincial side in China.

"I have been in contact with Anhui coach, our former national rep and coach Tomasi Cama Sr, and he has been telling me the girls are doing fine."
