TEAM NEWS> In the match on Saturday, Naisewa will lead Vodafone Fijiana XV against the Wallaroos.

Mosese Rauluni, the head coach of Vodafone Fijiana XV, has revealed his 23-man team for this Saturday’s test match against the Wallaroos.

The team’s victory over Japan at Churchill Park, Lautoka, gave them two weeks of preparation.

Following her injuries during the Super W grand finale, Bitila Tawake, a former captain of the Fijiana Drua team, makes a noteworthy comeback.

Captain Karalaini Naisewa is also back, having returned to the field following an ankle injury she suffered at the Oceania Championship in Brisbane.

Set to make her debut is Liti Lawedrau, a notable member of the Yasawa Rugby Women’s side competing in the ANZ Marama Championship.
Merewai Cumu, who was hurt during the test match against Japan, is replaced by her.

The front row will be completed by Tawake at tight-head prop, Tiana Robanakadavu at loose-head, and Keleni Marawa at hooker.

At locks, Mereoni Nakesa and Asinate Serevi are named. Sulita Waisega is the openside flanker, and Nunia Daunimoala stays at blindside flanker.

The team will be led by captain Karalaini Naisewa, who will start at number eight.

Jennifer Ravutia, the vice captain, starts at fly-half and Evivi Senikarivi at half-back during the first half.

Atelaite Buna and Liti Lawedrau are in the center, with Adita Milinia and Merewairita Neivosa on the wings. Luisa Tisolo rounds out the initial 15.

With Loraini Senivutu and Vika Matarugu covering the props, Litia Marama takes over as the replacement hooker on the bench.
Ema Adivitaloga is the backup loose forward, and Doreen Narokete is the middle row cover. Repeka Tove completes the match on day 23. The replacement halves are Setaita Railumu and Sala Kinita.
In their most recent meeting, which took place in May of last year, the Wallaroos defeated Vodafone Fijiana XV 22–5.
This next Saturday at 6:45 PM, Allianz Stadium will host this match.
