Male names an experienced side to face Waratahs.

Rooster Chicken Fijiana Drua Head Coach Inoke Male has named the strongest line up which is set to face its toughest opponent and current table leaders, Waratahs today.

Male has opted for experience in his run-on team and has named the majority of the players who played their opponent last year.

Male said “This is one of the tough games for us and we need to have all our experience players available for the game.”

“We defeated Waratahs twice last year and I certainly feel they will come with all guns blazing against us today,” he said.

Skipper Bitila Tawake returns at hooker and will guide the pack with Joma Rubuti and Ana Korovata assisting her in the front row.

A big call for Mereoni Nakesa who makes her debut at Locks paring up with experienced Merevesi Ofakimalino.

Nunia Uluikadavu starts again on the flanks with Sulita Waisega while Doreen Narokete moves to number 8.

Evivi Senikarivi and Jenifer Ravutia will pair up at 9 and 10. Adita Milinia and Vitalina are on the wings while Merewai Cumu and Vani Arei will control the play from the midfield. Lavenia Tinai will guide the team from the full-back position.

Expect more firepower in the second spell with players such as Karalaini Naisewa, Jade Coates, and Ani Mei on the bench.

The Rooster Chicken Fijiana Drua faces Waratahs at 5.05pm (FJT) at Concord Oval, Australia today.
