Fiji Sevens head coach Ben Ryan has selected his squad that will prepare for the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The team will get preparations underway at the Uprising Beach Resort in Pacific Harbour on Monday, June 13 and includes both local and overseas-based players that have represented Fiji in the 2015/2016 World Rugby Sevens Series.
