Fiji host Australia A in Pacific Nations Rugby. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 1:30pm AEST.
With Reece Hodge being called up to the Wallabies, the Australia A team have gone with Jock Campbell at fullback.
There’s still plenty of experience in the team with Filipo Daugunu in the side.
Once again Ryan Lonergan will lead the team after their narrow five-point loss to Samoa last week.
“The squad is really excited about playing Fiji in Fiji,” coach Jason Gilmore said in a statement.
“It’s a special occasion and this opportunity does not come around too often. For Seru, Filipo, Mark and Langi to play this match in Fiji will be a memorable moment for the boys and their families.
“We were disappointed not to finish the game off against Samoa after fighting our way back into it in the second half.
“Our execution early in the match will be important against an experienced Fiji team. As we know with this team, they can attack from anywhere and we will need to be defensively sharp.”
Fiji is coming off a 36-0 win against Tonga where they scored five tries.
