Swire Shipping Head Coach Kele Leawere has made four changes to his starting 15 as they get ready to take on Manuma Samoa in the Fiji Rugby Invitational Series decider at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva on Saturday.

Leawere has added more experience in the forward pack with Raikabula Momoedonu starting at the flanks and combining with Joji Kunavula who retains his position.

Nadroga half-back Taituisi Lulusinu will get his big break to start at number 9 with Simione Kuruvoli ruled out due to injury.

Kini Vosailagi has also been given the nod to start on the wing while Tevita Mociu has been named at fullback, relegating Jack Volavola onto the bench.

Coach Leawere says having these young players is important for the pathway of Fiji Rugby which will help in their development.

He said that the experienced players from the Flying Fijians and Fijian Drua have added the much-needed leadership quality to the team which has been of benefit to the team as a whole.

The Swire Shipping Fijian Warriors will take on Manuma Samoa at 3pm Saturday.
