Nadroga flyer Jiuta Lutumailagi is eyed to be given the kicking job in the remaining IRB sevens Series tournament by coach Iliesa Tanivula.
But the question here is - will he be able to live up to the expectation of the national side.
Fiji lost the touch of Midas after top choices Lepani Nabuliwaqa and William Ryder were dropped because of injury and discipline.
Since then the national side have not been able to produce a good fly-half which saw Fiji lose crucial points in conversions kicking.
Lutumailagi has played club competition locally and also at international level in France in the Top 14 and also the Pro Division 2.
He is also the leading point scorer in Digicel Cup (domestic 15s competition).
The skills and potential is there but will Lutumailagi is able to sustain the pressure in the international sevens scene is yet to be seen.
Hope he is able to patch the chink in our national sevens armour and becomes the next BIG THING IN THE SEVENS RUGBY !!
