The Fiji Bati can change their lineup tomorrow according to Toa Samoa assistant coach Geoff Toovey.

Toovey is sceptical about the Bati side named for tomorrow’s test match at Eden Park and is anticipating a number of positional changes come kick-off.

Fiji have included a handful of NRL players in their 18-man squad to face Samoa – headlined by Panthers wrecking ball Viliame Kikau and Storm flyer Suliasi Vunivalu – but they are missing a number of frontline stars who took part in the mid-year victory over Lebanon.

Toovey didn’t go into detail about the changes he thinks Fiji will make but he said it appeared Bati team management were keeping a couple of secrets up their sleeve.

The Bati will play Toa Samoa at 1:20pm tomorrow at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand.
