Rupeni Kabu Aims for Selection in 2025 HSBC 7s Series Leg

Rupeni Kabu, 27, aims to be selected for another HSBC SVNS series leg in 2025, hoping for a spot in head coach Osea Kolinisau’s 13-man squad for one of next year’s tournaments.

After making his series debut at the 2023 Dubai Sevens, following strong performances at the Oceania and Pacific Games, Kabu recognizes the hard work and sacrifice required to be part of the extended squad.

His secondary goal is to secure an overseas contract.

Having started with Natakali Sharks and later playing for Northland and the Police Blues sevens team, Kabu credits senior players and assistant coach Viliame Satala for their guidance.

The national sevens squad has resumed training and will prepare for the McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast Sevens in Sigatoka on January 16-18, before Kolinisau selects the squad for the Perth Sevens on January 24-26.
