Electric winger, Ponipate Loganimasi, has forced his way back into the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua starting lineup to face the Brumbies this Saturday, after a hip niggle in round 3.

Coach Glen Jackson seems to have found his core team with the same tight three in Haereiti Hetet, Zuriel Togiatama, and Mesake Doge.

Mesake Vocevoce and Isoa Nasilasila are at locks with Etonia Waqa and Motikiai Murray in the second row, while Elia Canakaivata is at No. 8.

Skipper Frank Lomani is at halfback with Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula at flyhalf.

Loganimasi and Joji Nasova are on the wings.

Isikeli Rabitu and Tuidraki Samusamuvodre will team up for the third time in the midfield with Ilaisa Droasese at fullback.

Hoping to make his debut from the bench is Drua Development hooker Sairusi Ravudi, supported by veteran prop Peni Ravai and Emosi Tuqiri.

Vilive Miramira, Kitione Salawa, and Ba man Isoa Tuwai are the second row reserves with Isaak Fines-Leleiwasa and possible debutant Iosefo Namoce for the backs.

The Fijian Drua play the Brumbies at 3.35pm Saturday at 4R Stadium at Govind Park, Ba.

In other games, the Hurricanes will meet the Force at 6.05pm Friday, the Crusaders host the Highlanders at 6.05pm Saturday, the Reds will face the Waratahs at 8.35pm, while the Blues play Moana Pasifika at 2.35pm Sunday.
