Flying Fijians make changes
Coach Samu Domoni Jnr confirmed before the side jetted out of Nadi last night that they are looking at three changes in the backline and one change in the forwards.
The inclusion of vice captain, Sireli Naqelevuki will give him the nod to start at inside centre moving young Iliesa Keresoni to replace the injured Timoci Nagusa on the wing.
Also with Dan Rawaqa been cleared to play this weekend, he is likely to get the fullback spot ahead of Jaoji Dakuvula who played in his debut game last weekend.
In the forwards the medical team will assess the injury on Jimilai Nakaidawa in Apia before they will decide on whether they will start Samu Bola on the open side flanker.
Domoni said they have to name their best line up against the Ikale Tahi who have proved in the past as one of the strongest opponents Fiji will ever face.
The Fiji and Tonga match kicks-off on Sunday at 12.10pm in Apia and live reports on our sister station Viti FM.
