Rooster Chicken Fijiana Drua Head Coach Senirusi Seruvakula has opted for experience for the Super W Championship final against the Waratahs at the AMMI Park in Melbourne tomorrow but says the game will come down to “the team which is mentally and physically fit.”
Seruvakula made changes to the side that beat the Waratahs 29-10 in their first match-up earlier this month, and so too the Australian Super W reigning champs who have made changes with a view to play “quicker and wider”
The Fijian Drua match-day squad sees positional changes and the return of Kolora Lomani whilst the newest inclusion to the side in Sera Ravatudei looking to make her Super W debut from the bench. For the Waratahs, the most notable change comes at inside centre with Katrina Baker being replaced by Pauline Piliae who the champs are looking to ignite a stronger showing this time around.
The match is scheduled to kick-off at 4.05pm (Fiji Time) tomorrow.
