Fiji Airways Flying Fijians captain Leone Nakarawa says they have left their performance against the All Blacks last weekend behind them and they are looking forward to their second match tonight.

He says the players were not happy with their performance last weekend but they are fortunate enough to get another shot this week.

Nakarawa says they have learned from their weaknesses and the coaching staff have been working with them during training to improve on those areas.

Nakarawa will lead the side after Levani Botia was ruled out due to injury.

Fiji has named a strong line-up with Peni Ravai, Sam Matavesi, Mesake Doge, Temo Mayanavanua, Johnny Dyer, Mesulame Kunavula and Peceli Yato in the forwards. Melbourne Rebels' half-back Frank Lomani will team up with Ben Volavola in the halves, while Eneriko Buliruarua and Waisea Nayacalevu are in the midfield.

Nemani Nadolo and Setareki Tuicuvu are on the wing with Kini Murimurivalu starting at fullback.

Fiji will play the All Blacks at 7.05 tonight.
