FIJI Water Flying Fijians Mick Byrne has made five changes to his starting line-up for tomorrow's Pacific Nations Cup clash against Samoa in New Zealand.

Haereiti Hetet will start at loose-head prop in place of Eroni Mawi who played against Tonga last weekend.

Samuela Tawake comes in at tight-head prop in place of Mesake Doge who has been moved to the bench.

Kitione Salawa has been named at open-side flanker while Elia Canakaivata was shifted to number eight.

Viliame Mata who played at eight against Tonga has been rested.

Byrne roped in Simione Kuruvoli at scrumhalf, forcing Philip Baselala to the bench.

Meli Tuni is the only player that is likely to make his debut off the bench.

Apart from these changes, Byrne has maintained the other players in their usual positions.

Captain Tevita Ikanivere is at hooker, Isoa Nasilasila and Temo Mayanavua at locks and Etonia Waqa at blindside flanker.

Caleb Muntz is on kicking duties at fly-half while Ponipate Loganimasi and Kalaveti Ravouravou are on the wing.

Byrne has maintained the centre combination of Seta Tamanivalu and Tuidraki Samusamuvodre.

Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula is at fullback.

The Flying Fijians are leading Pool A and a win cements their place in the semi-finals.

The match will kick off at 3pm at Rotorua International Stadium in Rotorua, New Zealand.
