Fiji vs Tonga: A Rerun of the Battles of Old

It will get tribal this Saturday when Fiji takes on Tonga. Long have we forgotten the wars of old but the weekend will spark our long-lost rivalry. Who will win is still unknown but the little that we do know is that there is a new propeller to steer the SHIP!!

This comes from the new kid on the block Fijian Drua flyhalf, Teti Tela will start at No.10 for the Vodafone Flying Fijians while five players will be making their debut against Tonga on Saturday in the Pacific Nations Cup.

Drua stars, Vinaya Habosi, Isoa Nasilasila, Rusiate Nasove and Kalaveti Ravouvou will also be in the starting 15 while former All Black Seta Tamanivalu will make his debut from the bench.

Other players are Haereiti Hetet, Tevita Ikanivere, Manasa Saulo, Tevita Ratuva, Mesulame Kunavula, Albert Tuisue, Frank Lomani, Jiuta Wainiqolo and Setareki Tuicuvu.

Waisea Nayacalevu will captain the side.
