American ambassador to Fiji, Steven McGann picks Western force while his British counterpart Mac Mclachlan and John Delves look on during the sevens draw in Suva yesterday.





THE Iliesa Tanivula-coached Fiji side has been placed with Waimanu in Pool A of the international section of the Digicel Suva Rugby Festival on January 15-23.
Apart from the two, Tonga is also in the pool, while the wild card entrant has yet to be decided.

Pool B has United States of America, Australian Super 14 franchise, Western Force and Army. The fourth team in the pool will be the winner of the Suva 7s tournament in Labasa on January 9.

New Zealand club Manawatu leads Pool C and will play Hong Kong, Suva and a wild card entrant.

Samoa, Ratu Filise head Pool D. The runner-up from the Labasa tournament and a yet to be confirmed international team will make the numbers in the pool.

Tournament media manager Jeremy Duxbury said they were still waiting for confirmation on Papua New Guinea who had shown interest in playing at the tournament.

"We need to have a confirmation and that is why we have as yet not decided who will be the team," Duxbury said.

Pool A-Fiji, Tonga, Waimanu, Wildcard
Pool B-USA, Western Force, Army, Labasa winner
Pool C-Manawatu, Hong Kong, Suva, Wildcard
Pool D-Samoa, Ratu Filise, Runner-up Labasa, one more yet to be confirmed

I'd be tempted if I could watch from the pool. Way too bloody hot and humid otherwise.
