The Vodafone Fiji Under 20 rugby side to face Argentina in the Junior World Championship 9th place playoff has been named with a few interesting changes made by coach Ifereimi Rawaqa.

With star playmaker Isaiah Ravula-Armstrong injured, Rawaqa has been forced to move Swire Shipping Fijian Drua halfback Philip Baselala from his usual halfback position to flyhalf giving Sakiusa Kama a chance to start at halfback.

Another notable change is flanker Timoci Nakalevu getting the start ahead of impressive Sakenasa Senivono Nalasi.

The Baby Flying Fijians will be looking to finish the tournament on a high.

The Fiji U20 starting 15 to face Argentina are:

Moses McGoon, Kavaia Tagiveitaua, Lasaro Vuluma, Mesake Vocevoce, Nalani May, Timoci Nakalevu, Motikiai Murray, Judah Qoro Saumaisue, Sakiusa Kama, Philip Baselala, Manieta Vonovono, Pateresio Finau, Epeli Waqaicece, Sireli Misiwini and Isikeli Basiyalo.

The impact players are:

Joeli Nainoca, Sitiveni Tamani, Marika Toga, Emosi Natubailagi, Sakenasa Nalasi, Frank Ralogaivau, Tupeni Waqalala and Bronson Lee.

Fiji will take on Argentina at 12.30am tomorrow.
