Nemia Kenatale will be at halfback, Wisea Luveniyali will start at flyhalf, Napolioni Nalaga and Vereniki Goneva the two wingers with Seremaia Bai pairing Gabby Lovobalavu at inside and outside center.

Young Kini Murimurivalu will be at fullback.

The reserves are Sunia Koto, Wise Naulago, Seko Kalou, Akapusi Qera, Vitori Buatava, Albert Vulivuli and Iliesa Keresoni.

Coach Samu Domoni Jnr believes they have picked the players who can deliver against Namibia.
