POTENTIAL debutants are expected to make their start in the national jumper when the Los Angeles 7s takes place this weekend.

They include Iliavi Masori, Lasaro Bogisa and Aisea Nawai who have been named in the 13-member squad of the Fiji Airways Fiji men’s 7s team.

With the team continuing from their successful finish in the Singapore 7s, certain players who starred in the Asian leg of the series have been ruled out because to injuries.

Meanwhile, the national men’s and women’s 7s teams departed the country for the US on Sunday.

The men’s side play their first match against New Zealand at 6.06am on Sunday while the Fijiana take on Australia at 6.50am on Sunday.
