20-year-old Metuisela Talebula has a huge role to play for the Digicel Fiji Sevens Team in the England and Scotland Sevens.

Coach Josateki Savou is eyeing the former Lelean Under 19 captain to shoulder the responsibility as one of his playmakers.

Savou has been using Talebula and Peni Gaunimeke as his two choices for this crucial position.

In most of their warm-up games this week, Talebula has started ahead of Gaunimeke with clear indication he will get the nod from the opening pool game in London.

Savou said that the two will be rotated depending on the strength of their opponents and he knows they will live up to their game strategy.

In London, the Fiji team is in Pool D with South Africa, Russia and Portugal.

Fiji will open their England Sevens campaign next Saturday night at 10.34pm against Portugal.
