The makeup of the Flying Fijians number 1 run on team for the Rugby World Cup is still wide open.

The selection of the team to take on Tonga in the first Test tomorrow indicates that the loose forward, halfback, flyhalf, wing and fullback positions is still on a trial basis with changes expected in the second Test.

The halfback, wing and fullback is where the least experience players in the squad have been named in the game against Tonga.

Fullback, Kini Murimurivalu is in his second Test, winger, Adriu Delai gets his first start after coming from the bench in his last two appearances, while halfback, Vitori Buatava has just played more than 5 Test matches.

It is likely that the experience players like Akapusi Qera, Nicky Little, Netani Talei and Ifereimi Rawaqa will get the nod next Friday.

Fiji will take on Tonga at 3.30pm at Churchill Park in Lautoka tomorrow and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station, Viti FM.
