Fiji coach Inoke Male has made five personnel changes and three positional switches to the side that lost to England last week for Saturday's non-cap international against an Ireland XV at Thomond Park.
Worcester centre Josh Matavesi and fly-half Jonetani Ralulu come into the tourists' back-line, with Bordeaux Begles full-back Metuisela Talebula and Simeli Koniferedi moving positions to full-back and right wing respectively.
London Irish loosehead Jerry Yanuyanutawa replaces Ratu Makutu in an otherwise unchanged front-row, with captain Deacon Manu from the Scarlets on the tighthead side of the scrum.
Api Naikatini shifts from blindside flanker to the second row, while Iliesa Ratuva and Nemani Nagusa have been added to the back-row.
Vereniki Goneva, Matavesi, Viliame Veikoso and lock Leone Nakawara are the only survivors from the Fijian team that lost 41-6 to Ireland at the RDS three years ago.
Fiji: 15 Metuisela Talebula, 14 Simeli Koniferedi, 13 Vereniki Govena, 12 Josh Matavesi, 11 Watisoni Votu, 10 Jonetani Ralulu, 9 Nikola Matawalu, 8 Nemani Nagusa, 7 Malakai Ravulo, 6 Iliesa Ratuva, 5 Api Naikatini, 4 Leone Nakarawa, 3 Deacon Manu, 2 Viliame Veikoso, 1 Jerry Yanuyanutawa.

Should this not read "with captain Deacon Manu the Kiwis from the Scarlets on the tighthead side of the scrum. "
