Male makes 9 changes in Fijiana XVs side to play Spain in WXV 3 round 2

Vodafone Fijiana 15s head coach Inoke Male has made nine changes to his side to take on Spain in their second match of the Women’s World XV 3 this weekend.

Of the nine changes made, 6 were in the forwards and 3 were in the backline.

After their 67-13 demolition of Colombia last weekend, the side will look to continue their winning momentum this weekend against an unpredictable Spanish side.

Ana Korovata, Bitila Tawake and Tiana Robanakadavu will start in the front row with Nunia Uluimoala and Doreen Narokete pairing up at locks.

Merevesi Ofakimalino, Sulita Waisega and Captain Sereima Leweniqila will be in the back row.

Setaita Railumu and Jennifer Ravutia will start at halfback and flyhalf respectively with Iva Suira and Adita Milinia on the wings.

Rusila Nagasau and Vani Arei will start at centres while Luisa Tisolo will be at fullback.

There will not be a lack of power as well on the bench with Unaisi Lalabalavu, Loraini Senivutu, Penina Turova, Mereoni Nakesa and Karalaini Nasewa covering the forwards while Evivi Senikarivi, Neihova Merewairita and Atelaite Bula will cover the backs.

The Fijiana are currently placed 19th in the World Rugby Women’s rankings and a win in this match will see them move up one place to 18th place.

The Fijiana will take on Spain at 3.30am Saturday.
