Ravouvou, Nasilasila in doubt to play

HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2015/16 top points scorer Vatemo Ravouvou and Amenoni Nasilasila are in doubt to play this weekend in Vancouver, Canada.

Vodafone Fiji 7s Coach Ben Ryan told The Province that the duo has been in bed.

Nasilasila missed the final at Vegas because of the bug that has been causing problems to Ryan's boys, and was still in bed since while Ravouvou seems to have continued carrying his sickness from Vegas.

"Two are still in bed, a knee injury to Vatemo Ravouvou , knee, ankle and vomiting a little, he's got a little tram right there and Amenoni Nasilasila — he's in our team but couldn't play in the final so he's been in bed," Ryan said.

However for Ryan having 14 players with him gives him a bit of flexibility in choosing his team for Vancouver.

But so far, apart from Ravouvou and Nasilasila, Ryan said the rest of the players had been good despite "fatigue" kicking in after the win in Vegas.

"They are good, they were fatigued and pretty dead a few days after that, it takes that out of you and the travel was not good but today they seemed to have got their legs back, and they're smiling, that's always a good sign."
