Swire Shipping Fijian Drua lineup as flyhalf Kemu Valetini and Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula

There have been some late changes to the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua lineup as flyhalf Kemu Valetini has been ruled out due to injury.

Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula has shifted from fullback and will now move to No. 10.

This means Philip Baselala and Armstrong-Ravula will pick up their halves combination from when they played together in the Fiji U20 side.

Due to this change, Selestino Ravutaumada has been promoted from the bench to fullback with Caleb Muntz slotting in at reserve.

The Fijian Drua have won their last 8 matches straight in Lautoka.

The Drua play the Force at 3.35pm tomorrow at Churchill Park.

In other matches this weekend, the Highlanders face the Hurricanes at 7.05 tonight, the Waratahs host the Crusaders at 9.35 tonight, Moana Pasifika will take on the Blues at 7.05pm tomorrow, and the Brumbies will play the Reds at 9.35pm.
