Fiji Airways Fijian Drua Head Coach Senirusi Seruvakula has made minor changes to the team that will play the semi-final against Canberra Vikings from the one that beat Queensland Country last weekend.
13 players will experience their first NRC final series.
Seruvakula has named Joeli Veitayaki, Tevita Ikanivere, Penijamini Makutu, Tevita Naqali, Peni Naulago, Ulaiasi Lawavou, Johnny Dyer and Eremasi Radrodro in the forwards while Peni Matawalu, Enele Malele, Juita Wainiqolo, Serupepeli Vularika, Cyril Reece, Levani Kurumudu, Caleb Muntz are in the back-line.
Seruvakula says this Drua team is still a development squad as they have been filling in the vacuum left by the experienced players, but they’ve got plenty of fight in them.
The Fiji Airways Fijian Drua faces Canberra Vikings – 4pm on Sunday at Viking Park, Canberra, Australia.
