Returning London Irish fullback Alivereti Veitokani will add firepower to the Namosi line-up against Tailevu after being named at the fly half position today at the Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori.

Known for his quick attacking play and running rugby pattern, the Nabukebuke side will most likely speed up the match against Tailevu and Veitokani maneuvering the directions of the Namosi attack play.

Namosi retains seven players from last week’s starting line-up against Suva and Veitokani has switched from fullback to the fly half position to speed up their attacking line against the Tailevu side.

The match will also be a testing ground for both sides as the focus of next week is on the Farebrother Sullivan challenge.

Namosi will defend the Farebrother from Nadroga next weekend and coach Asaeli Boko has one final display of his players before he selects his team for the anticipated Farebrother clash.

However Tailevu will hope for Nadroga to win, because they will challenge for the trophy the following week.

Meanwhile the Tailevu vs Namosi match will kick-start at 3pm.
