Flying Fijians rugby coach Samu Domoni Jnr will make some crucial decisions about his starting lineup to take on Italy this Sunday.

With Seremaia Bai, Ifereimi Rawaqa and Malakai Ravulo ruled out for this game, it is likely Bai’s position will go to Josh Matavesi with either Dan Rawaqa or Norman Ligairi running at fullback.

Domoni will have to also consider Seru Rabeni after he missed last week’s game because of visa problems, but after the strong performance from Gabby Lovobalavu and Albert Vulivuli last weekend, they are likely to get the nod again.

In the forwards, whether Domoni will try and use local based Setefano Somoca or Vesi Rarawa will be a question that he will have to address before the game knowing that the Italian forwards are one of the best rated packs in the world.

The Fiji and Italy game kicks off on Sunday at 3am.
