Warriors make one change

ONLY one change has been made to the Fiji Warriors side line-up ahead of their Pacific Rugby Championship match against Brisbane Academy this afternoon.

Team coach Inoke Male will use the same team he named for their match against Waratahs XV that was called off last Saturday with the exception of Aporosa Duwai.

The lone change sees overseas-based Nemani Nadolo start at inside centre and Duwai relegated to the bench.

Jovesa Kunawave, who was named at inside centre last Saturday moves to outside centre.

The Fiji Warriors aim to stretch their lead at the top of the points table with a win at Ballymore in Brisbane.

The Warriors lead the PRC after their match against the Waratahs XV was called off because of bad weather and declared a draw.

This earned the Fiji A side two points while the other two Pacific teams in the competition — Samoa A and Tonga A — suffered defeats at the hands of ACT XV and Reds College respectively.

Fiji Warriors:

Forwards: Waisea Daveta, Seru Cakobau, Leong Koong, Mataiasi Ucutabua, Nathan Hughes, Inoke Tuisese, Apisaie Domolaiali, Esiria Vueti.

Backs: Henry Seniloli, Ratunaiasa Vaturanuku, Apisale Nawaqaliva, Nemani Nadolo, Jovesa Kunawave, Aisea Natoga and Isoa Donaldson.

Reserves: Jale Sassen, Apisai Vatubuli, Joeli Veitayaki, Josefa Biu, Eremasi Radrodro, Kolinio Vunaki, Aporosa Duwai and Penaia Naweilulu.
