Former Rooster Chicken Fijiana Drua Captain, Bitila Tawake, makes a significant return after her injury during the Super W grand finale. Also returning is Captain Karalaini Naisewa, back on the pitch after recovering from an ankle injury sustained at the Oceania Championship in Brisbane.
Liti Lawedrau, a standout from the Yasawa Rugby Women’s team in the ANZ Marama Championship, is set to make her debut. She replaces Merewai Cumu, who was injured in the test match against Japan.
