Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Simon Raiwalui has named his team to face England in the RWC quarter-final with Tevita Ikanivere and Albert Tuisue getting their first start, Vilimoni Botitu his second at fly-half and Ilaitia Droasese making his return to the run on team with Vilive Miramira to possibly debut from the bench.

The front row has Eroni Mawi, Ikanivere and the prop that likes to run like a winger, Luke Tagi.

Isoa Nasilasila pairs up with Tuisue at locks while Lekima Tagitagivalu, Levani Botia and Viliame Mata form the back row.

Frank Lomani starts at No. 9 with Vilimoni Botitu at fly-half.

Semi Radradra has been named again on the left wing while Vinaya Habosi is on the right.

Raiwalui has gone with his trusted centres pairing of Josua Tuisova and skipper Waisea Nayacalevu with Ilaisa Droasese making a return at fullback.

The forwards replacement on the bench are Sam Matavesi, Peni Ravai, Mesake Doge, Meli Derenalagi and Vilive Miramira hoping to make his RWC debut.

In the backline are Simione Kuruvoli, Iosefo Masi, and Sireli Maqala.

In other RWC quarter finals, Wales will play Argentina at 3am tomorrow, Ireland will take on the All Blacks at 7am tomorrow and hosts France will play South Africa at 7am next Monday.
