Fiji unchanged for France Autumn Nations Series trip

SPORTS 13.11.2025

Fiji head coach Mick Byrne announced on Thursday an unchanged starting lineup for this weekend's Autumn Nations Series game against France in Bordeaux.

Text size:

Australian Byrne has kept faith with the team to lose 38-18 at England last weekend for this Saturday's meeting with Les Bleus.

His 23-man squad includes seven players based in France with Racing 92 powerhouse Josua Tuisova starting in the centre and his club team-mate Selestino Ravutaumada on the right wing.

There is one alteration among the substitutes with former England under-20s prop Tim Hoyt set for his Test debut.

The Worcester Warriors 22-year-old front-rower qualifies for the Pacific Islanders through a Fijian parent and replaces Samu Tawake on the bench.

Fiji (15-1)

Salesi Rayasi; Selestino Ravutaumada, Kalaveti Ravouvou, Josua Tuisova, Jiuta Wainiqolo; Caleb Muntz, Simione Kuruvoli; Viliame Mata, Elia Canakaivata, Pita Gus Sowakula; Temo Mayanavanua, Isoa Nasilasila; Mesake Doge, Tevita Ikanivere (capt), Eroni Mawi

Replacements: Zuriel Togiatama, Haereiti Hetet, Tim Hoyt, Mesake Vocevoce, Kitione Salawa, Sam Wye, Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula, Sireli Maqala
