New combinations will be tested as the Fiji Airways Flying Fijians seek to assert dominance over Uruguay in the second test of the November International Series this weekend.

Head Coach John McKee has included six new names into the starting 15 for Sunday’s match including the debut cap for Perpignan winger and Fiji 7s convert Eroni Sau who will start at 11 alongside the dynamic duo of Jale Vatubua and Vereniki Goneva.

Albert Tuisue earns his first start in the white jersey alongside Leone Nakarawa in the second row, with fellow Drua team mate Mesulame Dolokoto getting the nod in the Hooker’s position.

Uruguay have played two warm up matches against Cardiff Blues and Ulster prior to this test and the Fijian camp know they need to tidy up their act if they want the victory.
