It was more to do with the rotation policy and the performance of each individual players that Flying Fijian head coach Samu Domoni Junior has brought in 8 changes to his starting line up to face Wales on Saturday.

Manager Talemo Waqa has confirmed that rotational policy is in place to make sure players get game time and this helps the coaching staff get to view firsthand how players are able to perform at the very top level, while at the same time giving the players much needed exposure on the international field of play.

Waqa added missing out from the match day side, from the team that played France, are Wame Lewaravu, Napolioni Nalaga, Seru Rabeni, Sireli Naqelevuki and Norman Ligairi.

It=s understood visa issues have meant Domoni has been unable to consider Rabeni or Lewaravu for the Wales match.

Looking at the team to play Wales, in the forwards is Captain Deacon Manu, Viliame Veikoso, Campese Ma'afu, Ifereimi Rawaqa, Jone Qovu, Semisi Naevo, Malakai Ravulo and Sisa Koyamaibole.

The backline consists of Nemia Kenatale, Seremaia Bai, Michael Tagicakibau, Albert Vulivuli, Gabriele Lovobalavu, Vereniki Goneva, and Josh Matavesi.
