Rugby-Fiji bring in Tikoirotuma in place of banned Nadolo

LONDON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Fiji have replaced suspended left wing Nemani Nadolo with Aseli Tikoirotuma for the Rugby World Cup Pool A clash with Wales at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Thursday.

French-based Timoci Nagusa was drafted into the squad and has gone straight into the starting side. Scrumhalf Nikola Matawalu has been left out of the matchday squad after suffering bruising to his lower back. Captain Akapusi Qera will be the third player to win 50 caps for Fiji, following Nicky Little (71) and Seremaia Bai (50). 1-Campese Maafu, 2-Sunia Koto, 3-Manasa Saulo, 4-Tevita Cavubati, 5-Leone Nakarawa, 6-Dominiko Waqaniburotu, 7-Akapusi Qera (captain), 8-Netani Talei, 9-Nemia Kenatale, 10-Ben Volavola, 11-Aseli Tikoirotuma, 12-Lepani Botia, 13-Vereniki Goneva, 14-Timoci Nagusa, 15-Metuisela Talebula Replacements: 16-Viliame Veikoso, 17-Peni Ravia, 18-Leeroy Atalifo, 19-Nemia Soqeta, 20-Malakai Ravulo, 21-Henry Seniloli 22-Joshua Matavesi, 23-Kini Murimurivalu.
