FIJIANA 7s rep Aloesi Nakosi was sternly warned by those closest to her when she decided years ago to play rugby.

But watch her play this weekend at the New Zealand Sevens in Hamilton as she will prove all her critics wrong, says her coach Saiasi Fuli.

The Burelevu, Ra, Fijiana 15s rep and former foiotball player has been named in Fuli’s 12-member squad in the two-day tournament.

Fuli named a strong lineup for today to meet England in their first match.

More in tomorrow’s edition of The Fiji Times.
