Overseas-based players Semi Radradra, Filimoni Botitu and Aminiasi Tuimaba have settled in well with the Fiji Men s 7s team in Japan for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
Radradra, Botitu and Tuimaba, played most of their rugby this year with their different clubs.
Botitu and Tuimaba joined the team in Australia for the Oceania 7s last month while Radradra joined the team in Japan.
Coach Gareth Baber says the challenge is getting these players into the 7s mindset.

Fiji’s swimming rep to the Olympic Games in Japan, Taichi Vakasama, is 1.05 seconds away from creating Fijian history in Japan.
The Nadi-based swimmer has to beat the time to get into the Olympics in his universality event in Tokyo.
His coach Marlene Vuniwaqa, despite not accompanying the Nadi-based university student to the Tokyo Games, is confident that the Fijian and Pacific 200 metres backstroke champion could be able to set a Fijian record in the games.
“He set 2.15.72 minutes in the Olympics last qualifying event in December last year where he was 1.05 seconds away from the Olympics qualifying time which is 2.14.26,” Vuniwaqa said.
