Warriors change three

THE Telecom Fiji Warriors has made three changes in the squad to play the Argentina Pampas in their second match on the tour.

Fiji has lost Taniela Koroi through injury and has been replaced by hardworking Kirwan Sanday at tighthead position.

Mataiasi Ucutabua has been relegated to the bench and Apisai Naikatini will play at the number five position while Timoci Sauvoli will feature at blindside and John Dyer will wear the number six jersey.

Coach Senirusi Seruvakula has opted for a change at number eight with Jolame Bera replacing Dyer.

At flyhalf Emori Waqa has relegated Kini Douglas to the bench.

Team manager Dan Domoni said the team would be playing in chilly conditions.

“The temperature has dropped to below 15 degrees and it will be an important game for us.

“Taniela Koroi is still injured so he will miss the game and Kirwan will replace him. Savenaca Tabakalagi’s injury will be reviewed tomorrow,” Domoni said.

“The team has prepared well when it comes to team bonding.

“The new players who were not in the PRC are jelling well in the team for the match.

“We have worked on our game-plan,” Domoni said.
