The Pacific Islanders have named one of the strongest team to face France on Sunday and many of them will feel at home no less than seven players in the starting XV ply their trade in the Top or Pro Division 2.

The big news is the call up of Clermont's Fijian wing Napolioni Nalaga, the top try scorer in last season's Top 14 competition.

Nalaga, who was not in the squad that lost to England last week, joins Clermont teammate Seremaia bai, who will play at flyhalf.

Nalaga will also be familiar with the other wing, this season's leading try scorer in France, Vilimoni Delasau who plays for Montauban in France.

Amongst them there are also other players that play in France like Sisa Koyamaibole and Tonga's Paino Hehea and Kas Lealamanua.

The Pacific Islanders team to play France in the backs are Gavin Williams from Samoa, Napolioni Nalaga, Seru Rabeni, Epi Taione from Tonga, Vilimoni Delasau, Seremaia Bai and Mosese Rauluni.

In the forwards are Kas Lealamanua from Samoa, Tanielu Fuga from Samoa, Kisi Pulu from Tonga, Paino Hehea from Tonga, Kele Leawere, Hale T Pole from Tonga, Nili Latu from Tonga and Sisa Koyamaibole.  The Pacific Islanders and France match will kick off on Sunday at 2am.
