Swire Shipping Fijian Drua speedster Selestino Ravutaumada will start at fullback for the first time this year in one of the interesting positional changes that coach Mick Byrne has made in the match day 23 squad that will take on the Brumbies in Round 11 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific this weekend.
The change sees veteran fullback Ilaisa Droasese moving to the bench.
Hooker Tevita Ikanivere has also made his way back into the starting lineup while Haereiti Hetet and Mesake Doge retain their positions in the prop.
Mesake Vocevoce returns to the starting line-up and will partner with Isoa Nasilasila at locks.
Vilive Miramira returns to blindside flanker, Kitione Salawa remains at openside flanker with captain Ratu Meli Derenalagi starting at number 8.
Ratu Peni Matawalu will again partner with Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula at the halves while Michael Naitokani comes in at inside centre and Iosefo Masi outside him.
Taniela Rakuro retains his spot on the left wing with Junior Ratuva starting on the right.
The Fijian Drua will meet the Brumbies at 9.35pm on Saturday in Canberra.
