Logistics is the biggest hurdle that Fiji 7s head coach Gareth Baber needs to overcome in his bid to secure superstar Semi Radradra (Bristol Bears-England), Aminiasi Tuimaba (Pau-France) and Vilimoni Botitu (Castres-France) to be part of the campaign to defend the gold medal at next month’s Tokyo Olympic Games.
Radradra, Tuimaba and Botitu are the three overseas-based players Baber is targeting to form the core of the 13-member Fijian Olympics squad.
The trio are no strangers to the abbreviated code having played under Baber in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series and the RWC Sevens.
