Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua coach Ifereimi Rawaqa has retained his starting line up that defeated defending champions Waratahs last week for this weekend’s double header clash against the Reds at Churchill Park in Lautoka.

However, 4 changes have been made to the bench by Rawaqa which sees the return of veteran halfback Setaita Railumu wearing the number 21 jersey and hoping to get a chance to have a run on the field with her sister Salaseini Railumu who has retained her spot at openside flanker.

Salanieta Nabuli, Keleni Marawa and Vika Matarugu complete the frontrow, Mereoni Nakesa will partner with Asinate Serevi at locks, Alfreda Fisher and Salaseini Railumu will be on the flanks with Karalaini Naisewa at number 8.

Kolora Lomani will start at halfback, Salanieta Kinita will start at flyhalf, with Josivini Naihamu and Vitalina Naikore pairing up in the centres.

Alowesi Nakoci and Repeka Tove will be on the wings and Luisa Tisolo will start at fullback.

On the bench, Loraini Senivutu, Ana Korovata, Tiana Robanakadavu, Merevesi Ofakimalino, and Nunia Daunimoala will cover the forwards while Setaita Railumu, Litiana Vueti, and Merewairita Neivosa covering the backline.

The Fijian Drua Women currently lead the Super W standings with 4 points following their 23-17 win over Waratahs last week.

They will take on the Reds at 1.05pm this Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
