FIJIAN rugby superstars Semi Radradra and Josua Tuisova have joined the Fiji Airways Fiji 7s team camp in London. The Toulon-based stars played a huge role in the Barbarians win over England in the weekend and are expected to combine with the Jerry Tuwai-led side for the London 7s.

The Fiji Rugby Union Facebook page yesterday showed photos of Tuisova and Radradra present at the team’s afternoon devotion.

The presence of the high profile players will inspire the other 14 players in the squad to work hard for the final 13-member team for this weekend’s London 7s.

Coach Gareth Baber earlier indicated his interest to include the duo for the last leg of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.

Baber said he would do his best to recruit these star players and mould a winning combination with the rest of the 7s players in the squad.

“If there is a potential of them to be in the squad then I will look at how I can mould them with these boys,” he said.

Fiji is pooled with New Zealand, Scotland and Argentina at the London 7s.
