Swire Shipping Fijian Drua hooker Mesulame Dolokoto has been named to openside flanker in Saturday’s clash against Moana Pasifika.

Dolokoto played at flanker while captaining Queen Victoria School during the Secondary Schools Deans Trophy competition but was moved to hooker while at the Brumbies Academy in Canberra.

During the Super Rugby Pacific competition, he showed promising signs when moved to the side of the scrum. Dolokoto is very good at broken play and has set up a number of tries.

Captain Nemani Nagusa returns from suspension and is named in the Match 23 squad. He will start from the bench.

Coach Mick Byrne has opted for five forwards on the reserve bench along with three backs.

This was the line-up released by Rugby Australia, this morning.
