The FMF Flying Fijians Coach, Ilivasi Tabua says they have enough options as to who will take up the fly-half's position in the team to play against South Africa, in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinal.
Tabua says they do not need any replacement and he is eyeing Seremaia Bai or Waisea Luveniyali to take Nicky Little's place after he was ruled out because of a knee injury.
Meanwhile, Tabua is expected to make two changes to his run-on team for the Springboks clash.
Norman Ligairi and Sireli Bobo may get a chance to start at fullback and on the wing, while Seremaia Bai is expected to play at flyhalf and Kameli Ratuvou maybe switching to centre.
The team likely to take the field on Monday will be - Norman Laigairi, Sireli Bobo, Filimoni Delasau, Seremaia Bai, Seru Rabeni, Kameli Ratuvou, Mosese Rauluni, Sisa Koyamaibole, Semisi Naevo, Akapusi Qera, Kele Leawere, Ifereimi Rawaqa, Graham Dewes, Jone Railomo and Sunia Koto.
The FMF Flying Fijians / Springboks quarterfinal match will be played next Monday at 1am in Marseille.
