Fiji XV to face All Blacks

(backs to forwards)
Norman Ligairi, Vilimoni Delasau, Viliame Satala, Seremaia Bai, Sireli Bobo, Nicky Little, Mosese Rauluni (captain), Sisa Koyamaibole, Aca Ratuva Ifereimi Rawaqa, Isoa Domolailai, Akuila Matanibukaca, Bill Cavulati, Viliame Gadolo, Joe Bale.

Reserves: Jacob Rauluni, Epeli Ruivadra/Joe Tora, Sunia Koto, Jone Railomo, Jone Qovu, Sam Tabua, Seva Rokobara.

the same side that should have drawn against NZ Maori in Suva.. however conditions at Albany should be different than those in Suva.. the All Blacks should win this comfortably but expect plenty of contest from the big Fijian forwards and fast Fijian wingers.. it'll be interesting to see how Sivivatu goes against his "Brothers" especially against Sireli Bobo who is freakishly fast..

it's like the Kenya for athletics.. Caucaunibuca who isn't playing in this test, Sivivatu, Rokocoko, Bobo, Delasau, Vunibaka, Serevi.. they just keep producing these freakishly fast rugby players who just leave ya for dead.. incredible.. i hope they get some help from the IRB.. rugby needs countries like Fiji, Samoa and Tonga and not just the SANZAR and Home Nations..

well it's the final shakedown for the All Blacks before their first encounter against the Lions at Christchurch.. should be a great one.. expect competition and nothing less..
