Naitokatoka will start from the interchange in the number 14 jumper.

In-form Australian-born Fijian Losana Lutu has been named on the Wests Tigers bench earning a spot in the team following her impressive performance at the NSW Blues Under 19 in the State of Origin earlier this month.

The young playmaker is also one of the Fiji Bulikula’s prospects.

Former Fijiana 7s and Fijiana Drua sensational winger Vitalina Naikore will make her Rugby League debut from the North Queensland Cowboys bench.

Naikore is joined on the reserve with Papua New Guinea-born Fijian Sera Koroi, who featured for the PNG orchids at the women’s rugby league play offs last year.
