Four Rooster Chicken Fijiana 15s players are expected to make their debut for Fiji when they face South Africa in the Women’s Rugby World Cup match this afternoon.

They are Joma Rubuti, Kolora Lomani, Ana Maria Naimasi and Timaima Ravisa.

Coach Senirusi Seruvakula says these players have been expected to have an impact against South Africa in a game which they need to win to remain in contention for a quarter-final berth.

He adds South Africa is a forward-oriented team, and they will try to counter them in the scrums, lineouts and mauls, but they have a game plan and are prepared to face them.

The Fijiana will meet South Africa at 4.45pm today.
