Alfreda Fisher will captain the Vodafone Fijiana XV side as they take on Tonga this afternoon in Lautoka.

The forward pack features Karalaini Naisewa at loosehead prop, Adi Keri Lawavou at tight head, while Keleni Marawa will start at hooker.

Karavaki Lutumaibau partners with Carletta Yee in the second row, with Yee, a former Mahatma Gandhi Memorial High School student, lining up at lock.

Adi Salaseini Railumu takes up the blindside flanker role, while Naval Officer Alfreda Fisher leads from the openside. Sulita Waisega completes the forward pack at number eight.

In the backline, Evivi Senikarivi and Varanisese Qoro will combine in the halves, with Aqela Raitubu named on the wing.

Merewarita Neivoha slots in at inside centre, alongside Vika Nakacia at outside centre.

Charlotte Tuicikobia takes the other wing, while Ivamere Rokowati starts at fullback.

The bench provides solid depth, with Litia Marama, Tiana Robanakadavu, and Elesi Rotabaiwalu covering the forwards.

The backline replacements include Viisi Tivalele, Charlotte Vosakiwaiwai, Kolora Lomani, and Vatiseva Cavuru.

Fijiana will face Tonga at 4.30pm this afternoon at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
