Fiji revert to winning team

international against Scotland at Murrayfield tomorrow. The tourists

yesterday named the XV who beat the French Barbarians by 32-16 on

Sunday.

Yet 10 remain from the 18 who played against Glasgow. Esala Teleni,

the tourists' captain, of course is among them, and the No.8 will be

making his second appearance at Murrayfield, as will Severo Koroduadua,

Fiji's world cup full back. Teleni and Koroduadua were in the Fijian

team whom a non-cap Scotland XV beat by 32-12 in 1982.

Waisale Serevi, one who did not allow himself to lose face in the

Glasgow defeat, remains at stand-off, partnering Lekima Vasuvulagi, a

replacement during the Hughenden match. Vasuvulagi took over when Mesake

Seavula moved out to centre late in the first half.

Seavula not only scored the first of Fiji's two tries, but he also

created a favourable impression on his opposite number, Ewan

McCorkindale. The Glasgow scrum half was surprised when he heard that

Vasuvulagi was the more likely first choice for the international.

Like Teleni and Serevi, Moses Taga and Sairusi Naituku, the Fijians'

18st props, remain from the Hughenden defeat. So does Pita Naruma, the

6ft 3in, 151!/;1/st flanker who, by reputation, is more highly rated

than he appeared on Wednesday.

Jimi Damu, injured at Hughenden, could not be considered for the

international. Nor could Tevita Vonolagi, who would have been

first-choice centre against the French Barbarians and Scotland but for

back damage earlier on the Continental leg of the tour. Two of the

chosen team, Mosese Natuilagilagi and Isikeli Waqavatu, are carrying

injuries, but the Fijians are waiting until today to see how they are.

As another reaction to the defeat in Glasgow, the tourists switched

their training ground yesterday afternoon. Instead of returning to

Heriot-Watt University's playing fields at Riccarton, they went to Moray

House's Cramond campus, overlooking the firth. The change was for no

other reason than that they could work on a powerhouse scrummage

machine, a commendation of what Glasgow had achieved in that airt.

Earlier in the day, the Scots had their work-out at Murrayfield,

private as usual on the Thursday before an international. Bob Munro,

convener of the international selection committee, reported that

everyone was fit. John Jeffrey's groin strain had cleared up, and

neither Gary Armstrong nor Graham Marshall had any recurrences of back

twinges earlier in the week. The Fijians' team is:

S Koroduadua; L Erenavula, M Natuilagilagi, N Nadruku, I Waqavatu; W

Serevi, L Vasuvulagi; M Taga, S Naivilawasa, S Naituku, I Savai, M

Rasari, P Naruma, E Teleni, captain, A Dere. Replacements -- I Torosi, I

Naituku, T Wainiqolo, N Matirawa, M Seavula, T Lovo.
