Interim Vodafone Flying Fijians coach Gareth Baber has made three changes to his run-on team and has also altered a few players in the reserves for the match against Georgia on Sunday.

Loose-head prop Eroni Mawi gets his second start and will team up with hooker Sam Matavesi and Mesake Doge at tight head prop.

Leone Nakarawa will partner with Api Ratuniyarawa at locks while the flankers’ combination of Albert Tuisue and Mesulame Kunavula will continue with Viliame Mata at number eight.

Frank Lomani will team up with Ben Volavola in the halves while Waisea Nayacalevu and Vilimoni Botitu will combine in the midfield.

Aminiasi Tuimaba is on the left-wing, Josua Tuisuva on the right and Setareki Tuicuvu will make his third consecutive start at fullback.

Fiji will meet Georgia at 2.30am Sunday.

In other matches, Scotland will face Japan at 1am Sunday, England will take on South Africa at 3.15am Sunday, the Wallabies face Wales at 5.30am Sunday, the All Blacks meet France at 8am Sunday and Ireland will play Argentina at 2.15am Monday.
