Australian-based Moses Sorovi has been named on the bench ahead of the Vodafone Flying Fijians clash against Georgia on Sunday.

After missing the last two matches, interim head coach Gareth Baber has added Sorovi along with Luke Tagi and Eneriko Buliruarua to the squad.

Baber says he wants to give all players game-time before the tour ends and they will try and keep the same momentum they started against Spain.

Loose Head Prop Eroni Mawi gets his second start and will lock hands with Hooker Sam Matavesi and Mesake Doge at tight-head prop.

Leone Nakarawa is back into the starting line-up and will partner with Api Ratuniyarawa at locks while the flankers’ combination of Albert Tuisue and Mesulame Kunavula continue with Viliame Mata at number eight.

Frank Lomani and Ben Volavola share the halves duty while Waisea Nayacalevu and Vilimoni Botitu’s carry out midfield duties.

Aminiasi Tuimaba comes at left-wing, Josua Tuisova will be on the right and Setareki Tuicuvu will make his third consecutive start at fullback.
