Fiji head coach Samu Domoni has reacted to last weekend's dismal defeat by Samoa by making ten changes for Sunday's Rugby World Cup Group D meeting with Wales at the Waikato Stadium.

Netani Talei is one of the five survivors from the loss in Auckland he takes over as captain in the absence of Deacon Manu, who misses out altogether. The versatile Talei has been switched to No.8 to accommodate the inclusion of Rupeni Nasiga at blindside flanker. The pair will be joined in the back-row by Sakiusa Matadigo, who gets the nod no the openside ahead of Malakai Ravulo. Sisa Koyamaibole is the other man to make way.

Elsewhere in the pack, Wame Lewaravu returns to the second-row at the expense of Seko Qaraniqio, while Setefano Somoca takes over at tight-head from Manu, with Waisea Nailago comes in at loose-head for Campese Ma'afu.

In the backs, Nick Little will again wear ten but he has been joined in the half-backs by Vitori Buatava, with Nemia Kenatale dropping to the bench.

Gaby Lovobalavu again starts in midfield but the inclusion of Ravai Fatiaki ahead of Seremaia Bai sees him switch to inside centre. Albert Vulivuli and Michael Tagicakibau replace Vereniki Goneva and Napolioni Nalaga out wide, while Iliesa Keresoni is preferred to Kini Murimurivalu at fullback.

Fiji: Iliesa Keresoni; Albert Vulivuli, Ravai Fatiaki, Gaby Lovobalavu, Michael Tagicakibau; Nicky Little, Vitori Buatava; Waisea Nailago, Sunia Koto, Setefano Somoca; Leone Nakarawa, Wame Lewaravu; Rupeni Nasiga, Sakiusa Matadigo, Netani Talei (capt).

Replacements: Viliame Veikoso, Campese Ma'afu, Mala Ravulo, Akapusi Qera, Nemia Kenatale, Seremaia Bai, Vereniki Goneva
