Queensland Reds half-back Moses Sorovi and Teti Tela will be making their Flying Fijians debut off the bench after being named in the 23 member team against the All Blacks in their second test tomorrow night.

Coach Vern Cotter says Sorovi is a great player, he is quick around the rucks and they like what he offers in that area.

Sorovi is likely to replace Melbourne Rebels halfback Frank Lomani who will be starting while Tela will be Ben Volavola's substitution in the fly-half position.

The three Australian based players did not play last Saturday because of the suspension of the Trans-Tasman travel bubble.

Veteran lock Leone Nakarawa has been given the captaincy role to lead the Flying Fijians against the All Blacks after captain Levani Botia was ruled out due to a knee injury.

Other players that will be starting includes Peni Ravai, Sam Matavesi, Mesake Doge, Temo Mayanavanua, Johnny Dyer, Mesulame Kunavula, Peceli Yato, Nemani Nadolo, Eneriko Buliruarua, Waisea Nayacalevu, Setareki Tuicuvu and Kini Murimurivalu.

Fiji will play the All Blacks at 7.05pm tomorrow
