Former Flying Fijians outside centre and Lautoka rugby coach Viliame Satala has been named on the reserves for the Sugar City side that will play Suva tomorrow in the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy challenge.

Dubbed as the best outside centre in the 1999 Rugby World Cup and commonly known as the “stretcher”, he is expected to take the field later in the game tomorrow.
 
Lautoka has named a young side but with an experienced front row of Kalivati Tawake, Manasa Seru and Peniona Ranitu.

The crafty Kelemedi Bola is at half back for the Maroons while former national 7s squad member Vucago Banitabua will be on the wing.

Former Flying Fijians Ifereimi Rawaqa and Apisai Nagi have been left out of the lineup.

Meanwhile, Suva coach Salimoni Ravouvou said they have some capable players who can cover for the injured ones.

Key players like Vilitai Sokiveta, Samu Bola, Maikeli Mocetadra, James Browne and Leone Tabuarua are still injured.

Suva will host Lautoka at 3:30pm tomorrow at the ANZ stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station VITI FM.
