Fijian Drua flanker Vilive Miramira has been ruled out of the starting line-up, in a number of changes the hosts have made to their match-day squad with minutes to go before their Round 11 Super Rugby Pacific match against Highlanders kick-off at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.
The host camp did not elaborate on the change, moving skipper Rt Meli Derenalagi to No.7 in place of Miramira, making way for Joseva Tamani, who moves to No.6 from the bench.
Kitione Salawa replaces Tamani on the bench which also sees Timoci Sauvou at No.17 at the expense of Meli Tuni who is out of the matchday 23.
This is the first home match of the Fijian Drua at home since their inclusion in the SRP set-up.
