Nabuliwaqa Unlikely For Quarters
The Naitasiri lad is carrying an injury which forced him out of the last pool game against Argentina.

Serevi is using Jerry Burotu, Rupeni Nasiga and Iliesa Ratuva in the forwards while Captain Emosi Vucago changing position and switching back to his favourite half back spot, Vereniki Goneva will come in at playmaker, Iveri Lavo at rover and Ratu Naisa Narukutabua on the wing.
