THE Fiji 7s rugby team head coach Gareth Baber hopes to see what Nadi rugby team number eight Veniona Vuki gets to deliver in the Oktoberfest rugby 7s tournament in the weekend.

Baber said Vuki has all the calibers needed in the national sevens team and he needs to prove himself worthy to don the national jumper.

“I saw him playing 15s here domestically in Nadi and he’s a strong runner, aggressive, he likes his defence and carries as well and one thing I love about him is his good work ethics on the field,” said Baber.

Vuki was rated by the Fiji 7s coach Gareth Baber as a player to watch after the Nadroga native was named into the 13 member squad that travelled to Germany yesterday for the Oktoberfest rugby 7s tournament.

“Anyone who plays sevens should understand that the work ethics above all else is going to carry you forward and he also has talent and the big jump for him is to see if he can use it in the training field and also in an international tournament and the one in Germany should be his first go,” Baber said.
