Serupepeli Uru, Suliasi Vunivalu and Ilaisa Droasese
Former Ratu Kadavulevu School student Serupepeli Uru will start again for the Queensland Reds tonight when they take on Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby AU.
Uru who was part of the RKS U-18 side that won the Deans title in 2015 after beating Marist Brothers High School in the final was instrumental in the Reds win over the Waratahs last week in round one.
The 24-year-old was one of the standout performers for the Reds in the first round with some strong carries, stole a few Waratahs lineout throws and his overall game was solid.
While Uru is in the starting side with Filipo Daugunu, former Bati flyer Suliasi Vunivalu will make his debut if he comes off the bench.
Vunivalu failed to make the team last weekend as he was stood down and fined $10,000 by the Reds after being charged with common assault for allegedly striking a security guard on January 30.
The former rugby league star is on the bench with Moses Sorovi.
Former Cuvu College fullback Ilaisa Droasese who scored on his debut for the Reds last week is not part of the match-day squad.
Meanwhile, the Rebels have Marika Koroibete on the wing while Flying Fijians halfback Frank Lomani is on the bench.
The Reds host the Rebels at 8:45 tonight.
