The Fiji A 15s rugby forwards pack will need to be more aggressive than their Tonga A counterparts tomorrow to have a chance of winning the second Punjas series at Churchill park.
Fiji Rugby Union coaching director, Samu Domoni Jnr said that senior players like Dale Tonawai, Leone Nakarawa, Alefoso Yalayalatabua and Anthony Wise have to set the platform and dominate the battle up front to win the game for Fiji.
Domoni said last week the forwards failed to win quality balls from the line out and scrums and it resulted in the visitors coming from behind to win the game.
Coach Inoke Male have made some changes to his team with players like Yalayalatabua, Rupeni Nasiga, Vereniki Sauturaga and Koki Vuicuvu who played for the Barbarians last Friday being drafted into the Fiji A team.
Fiji A will take on Tonga A tomorrow at 4pm at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
