VILIAME Mata and Apisai Domolailai have returned to full training and will be available for the Asian Leg of the HSBC World Rugby 7s series next month.
Mata had sustained a finger injury in the South Africa 7s and had been ruled out of the last two legs after having to undergo surgery.
Domolailai had also suffered a knee injury in the second leg of the series and had been ruled out of participation for the last leg.
The duo had both been present at the team’s vigorous training session yesterday and look to put their hands up for selection for HK and Singapore.
“The only guy that wasn’t here is Save. He has gone for an MRI and the machine has obviously been out of action because of the power surges but he has gone this morning to check if there is anything wrong with his wrist because he was having a bit of trouble with it in Vancouver.
“We owe it to him to make sure that he is 100 per cent because he is valuable to us,” he said.
Isake Katonibau and Vatemo Ravouvou have been through rehab and are expected to resume full training next week with Katonibau having been injured and the latter ill in the last leg.
“Viliame Mata and Apisai Domolailai are now back at full training and Vili will still have a pin to be removed from his finger so he is available for HK.
“We will have our camp on Tuesday and where we will pick the team. We will have to see if Save, Vatemo and Apisai make it,” he said.
