France based winger Sireli Bobo could be the only change in the FMF Flying Fijian 15's starting line-up to take on Wales.
While coach Ilivasi Tabua opted for wholesale changes in their previous pool game against Australia, it is clear after the sides last two training sessions that he will field his strongest line-up in the must win situation.
And Tabua is now left with a decision on who will play on the wings having to choose between Filimoni Delasau, Isoa Neivua and Sireli Bobo on the wings.
Tabua said that Bobo's inclusion will depend on his fitness level and how well he will fit in to the Fiji's back-line but the players are all focus to give their best shot against Wales.
Fiji takes on Wales on Sunday morning at 3am.
Results from this morning's games: Canada held Japan to a 12-all draw and Romania beat Portugal by 14-10.
In tomorrow's games: Georgia meet Namibia at 4am and Samoa meet USA at 6am.
Meanwhile, All Blacks coach, Graham Henry said that the match against Romania is important for the guys who are playing in that game, as there are a lot of people contesting for positions in the teams to be selected for the future.
Most of those who played in the thrashing of Portugal nearly two weeks ago are likely to dominate the starting lineup although there could be exceptions.
One of those may be star first five-eighth Daniel Carter, who has stated a desire to play this week to get him up to speed for the big games.
Another who may back up from Scotland in search of a strong performance is winger Sitiveni Sivivatu, and he may push Joe Rokocoko to the right wing and create a duel between the cousins for the quarterfinal wing berth alongside Doug Howlett.
The All Blacks/Romania match kicks off at 11pm on Saturday.
Bobo could be in starting XV
