The Fiji women's sevens team are back to full strength for this weekend's World Series tournament in Canada.

The Fijiana finished ninth at last month's Atlanta Sevens, coming from behind to beat Spain in the bowl final.

A couple of front-line players were absent in the USA for disciplinary reasons but head coach Iliesa Tanivula has made four changes for this weekend and says he had a full squad to choose from.

"Yeah the two...they're back. Everyone has been training well and the fitness levels have gone up so I though it was best to reward them and the team looks good for Canada".

Fiji face series leaders New Zealand, England and Spain in pool play this weekend and Iliesa Tanivula says they're targeting a quarter final finish to retain their top eight spot in the world standings.

Full squad:
