The Fiji Water Flying Fijians have made seven changes to their starting line-up to face England in their last Rugby World Cup warm-up match at Twickenham this Sunday.
Three changes have been made in the backline with Ilaisa Droasese starting at full-back ahead of Sireli Maqala, Selesitino Ravutaumada will start on the right wing and skipper Waisea Nayacalevu making his way back into the starting 15 and will start at outside centre.
In the forwards, Sam Matavesi comes back to start at hooker with Luke Tagi at tighthead prop, the back row sees Albert Tuisue and Lekima Tagitagivalu n the flanks.
Coach Simon Raiwalui says it is another big physical battle and England will try and use their pack to the limit.
He says England will be very tactical as well with their kicking and the Flying Fijians will try to counter that.
Raiwalui says they have been working on their set-pieces in the forwards and they look forward to a different challenge ahead of them this weekend.
The Flying Fijians will take on England at 2.15am this Sunday.
