Fijian duo, David Raikuna and Asaeli Tikoirotuma have been named by their respective coaches to start on the wing in the Blues and Chiefs Super Rugby match on Friday.

Raikuna who scored a try for the Blues against the Crusaders last weekend is coach, Pat Lam’s favourite choice for the number 14 jumper from the pre season to his debut game.

Tikoirotuma was on the bench when the Chiefs lost to the Highlanders but with Lelia Masaga injured he gets the nod to be in the run on team this Friday.

Another Fijian player, Maretino Nemani Jnr has missed out in the Chiefs selection for the game against the Blues.

In this week’s Super rugby matches, the Blues will play the Chiefs at 6.35pm Friday and the Rebels will take on the Waratahs at 8.40pm.
