2 new caps named in Flying Fijians

Flying Fijians Coach Glen Ella has named 2 new caps in his side to take on Romania tomorrow morning.

Former Fiji Bati winger Semi Tadulala will mark his first appearance in the national 15s side at the international level in the number 11 jumper, while Naitasiri openside flanker Jimilai Naikadawa will start at the number 7 jersey.

Tadulala switched from rugby league to union this season and after Seremaia Bai, Nicky Little, Mosese Rauluni and Napolioni Nalaga left the team, the coaching staff did not have any option but to get in Tadulala.

Fiji will rely on a young combination in their last match on tour with only Gabriel Lovobalavu and Vereniki Goneva, the familar faces from the first game on tour.

The Fiji team to play Romania at 4am tomorrow are Norman Ligairi,  Timoci Nagusa, Vereniki Goneva, Gabriel Lovobalavu, Semi Tadulala, Josh Matavesi, Waisale Vatuvoka in the forwards, Asaeli Boko, Jim Naikadawa, Samu Bola, Leona Nakarawa, Apolosi Satala, Viliame Seuseu, Vereniki Suguturaga and Alefoso Yalayalatabua.
