The star-studded Barbarian Brothers 7s team will focus on showcasing talents at this weekend’s Fiji Bitter Marist 7s.

Led by Fiji 7s star, Jerry Tuwai, who says the mission will be to expose some of the best players on offer in the abbreviated code.

“There are a lot of players out there who don’t have a team, the Barbarian Brothers have been formed for the sole reason of showing the talent on offer and give players opportunities,” Tuwai said.

Tuwai said the idea came after the confirmation of the Marist 7s tournament last month and with support put together a team to compete all for the love of 7s.

“The vision of this club is to bring out the talent in Fiji and give an opportunity to young boys who are not in the Fiji 7s team.”

Tuwai said excitement was high with the first major 7s tournament now only days away.

“Everyone is excited, the boys have been talking about this tournament and the urge is there and we just want to play.

“And I know this year will be a very tough and competitive tournament.”

Prominent players that will appear for the new team includes national 7s squad members Kameli Rasaku, Jiuta Wainiqolo, Anasa Qaranivalu, in-form Suva 15s openside flanker Taniela Sadrugu and former Fiji 7s players Vatemo Ravouvou and Pio Tuwai.
