Suva makes 3 changes

The Suva rugby side has made three changes to its starting lineup for tomorrow’s Farebrother Sullivan trophy defense against Lautoka.

Former national 7s rep James Brown who has been out for sometime due to injury returns as the only change in the forwards while Police duo Apenisa Nasilasila and Sunia Kubu force their way into the back line.

The capital city side has named a star studded team which includes Alefoso Yalayalatabua, Viliame Veikoso, Manasa Saulo, Samu Bola, Dale Tonawai, Vilitati Sokiveta and John Stewart.

This match will also see brothers Kelemedi and Samu Bola clashing for the second time this year.

Meanwhile, former Flying Fijians outside centre and Lautoka Rugby Coach Viliame Satala has been named on the bench for the Sugar City side.

Dubbed as the best outside centre in the 1999 Rugby World Cup and commonly known as “The Stretcher”, Satala is expected to take the field later in the game tomorrow.
 
Lautoka has named a young side but with an experienced front row of Kalivati Tawake, Manasa Seru and Peniona Ranitu.

Suva will host Lautoka at 3:30pm tomorrow at the ANZ stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station VITI FM.
