Fiji have named Toulouse wing Timoci Matanavou in their side to face Gloucester at Kingsholm on Tuesday.
The top-try-scorer in the Top 14, Matanavou joined the Flying Fijians squad on Sunday as a replacement for Akapusi Qera who has been released back to Gloucester following his one-game deputising in an injured-ravaged back-row for the Islanders.
Worcester's centre Josh Matavesi, who came off the bench against England on Saturday, will start in the midfield.
Tour captain Deacon Manu has been named on the bench.
Meanwhile, Gloucester have named a similar side to the one that took on the Ospreys in the LV= Cup on Friday.
Into the starting line up comes Steph Reynolds on the right wing, and Dan Robson will start at fly-half instead of wearing his usual number nine shirt.
Koree Britton comes in for Tommaso d'Apice at hooker while Harry Casson replaces the injured Elliott Stooke in the second row.
