Fiji Airways Fijian Drua Coach Senirusi Seruvakula has made only one change to his 23‑member squad for the match against Canberra Vikings tomorrow.

Seruvakula says they will be looking for a repeat effort from the core group that played a vital role in their massive 76‑29 win over Sydney Rays last weekend in Lautoka.

Captain, Joeli Veitayaki will lead the front row together with hooker Tevita Ikanivere and tighthead prop Mosese Ducivaki.

Tevita Naqali and Epeli Radaniva will start at numbers 4 and 5 respectively while Eremasi Radrodro and Ulaiasi Lawavou will be the flankers.

Johnny Dyer retains his position at number eight while Serupepeli Vularika and Caleb Muntz form the halves combination.

In the midfield, Cyril Reece partners with Poasa Waqanibau who missed last week while speedster Nacanieli Narequva shifts to right wing and Jiuta Wainiqolo gets the nod on the left.

Enele Malele will celebrate his birthday weekend in the number 15 jersey.

Ratu Penijamini Makutu, Filimoni Seru and Peni Naulago are expected to add fire power off the bench.

Seruvakula says there is no injuries in the team.

He says it will be a tough match against the Vikings with five Wallabies on stand‑by and 12 contracted Brumbies players.

Fiji Airways Fijian Drua will take on Canberra Vikings at 2pm tomorrow.
