The Vodafone Fijiana XV has been named to take on Japan tonight, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm Fiji time.

Karalaini Naisewa and Keleni Marawa will start in the front row at loosehead prop and hooker respectively, alongside Tiana Robanakadavu at tighthead prop.

Merewairita Neivoha moves into the openside flanker role, having previously featured in the position against South Africa, while Ivamere Rokowati will start at fullback.

Captain Kolora Lomani will lead the side, with vice-captain Alfreda Fisher starting at number eight.

The midfield partnership of Josivini Neihamu and Ruth Raketekete will look to control the centre, with Aqela Raitubu and Atelaite Ralivanawa providing attacking threat on the wings.

Bitila Tawake is among the replacements and is expected to provide impact from the bench, alongside Carletta Yee, Salote Nailolo and Repeka Tove.

The Fijiana will be aiming for a disciplined and determined performance against a competitive Japanese side as they look to make their mark in tonight’s encounter.
