Flying Fijians make changes to starting line-up against USA

The Vodafone Flying Fijians have made six changes to their starting lineup for their clash with the USA.

The changes see Timoci Nagusa starting at full-back who has featured off the bench in each of the last two Tests, defeats to France and Wales.

Nagusa replaces Metuisela Talebula who drops out of the squad altogether.

That’s not the only change in the back three, with Watisoni Votu back into the starting lineup for Waisea Nayacalevu, who drops to the bench.

There is also a start for Henry Seniloli, who looked very bright off the bench against Wales and comes in for Nikola Matawalu.

There are also three changes in the pack, with Peni Ravai coming in for the suspended Campese Ma'afu.

He'll be joined in the front row by hooker Tuapati Talemaitoga, while Malakai Ravulo starts at openside, forcing skipper Akapusi Qera to shift across to blindside.

Fiji meet the USA at 7am this Saturday.
