Veteran halfback Setaita Railumu makes her way back into the starting halfback position, Salanieta Kinita will start at flyhalf, Alowesi Nakoci and Ilisapeci Delaiwau will be on the wings, Josifini Neihamu and Verenaisi Ditavutu will partner up in the centres, while Litiana Vueti will be at fullback.

On the bench, Selai Naliva, Keleni Marawa, Bulou Wainikiti, Carlette Yee, and Adi Salaseini Railumu will cover the forwards, while Kolora Lomani, Kelerayani Luvu, and Michella Stolz will cover the backline.

Fijiana will take on the USA at 6.05am tomorrow in Washington, D.C.
