10 changes to Flying Fijians

Flying Fijian 15's rugby coach Samu Domoni Jnr has made 10 changes to his starting line-up from the side that lost 49-3 to the Wallabies to take on Japan in the Pacific Nations cup.

With the unavailability of some overseas based players and the likes of Rupeni Caucau and Wise Luveniyali injured, Domoni has brought in most of the local based players as replacements.

In the forwards, Alefoso Yalayatabua replaced Deacon Manu, Vili Veikoso gets the number 2 jumper ahead of Tua-pati Talemai-toga, Rupeni Nasiga also starts at blind-side and Kelepi Ketedromo at number 8.

First choice halfback Nikola Matawalu will have a chance to impress the selectors and Jonetani Ralulu is at fly half.

Vice captain, Sireli Naqelevuki and Ropate Ratu are the inside backs with Jaoji Dakuvula making his debut from fullback.

The Fiji team in the forwards, Campese Ma=afu, Vili Veikoso, Alefoso Yalayalatabua, Seko Qaraniqio, Dominiko Waqaniburotu, Rupeni Nasiga, Jimilai Nakaidawa and Kelepi Ketedromo.
