Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua women’s head coach Ifereimi Rawaqa has kept the same line-up that beat NSW Waratahs in their Super W opener last Friday night in Sydney.

However, the former Flying Fijians star lock made four changes to the reserve bench as they prepare to face a strong Queensland Reds outfit in Lautoka on Saturday.

The Match 23 squad features two sets of sisters with Karalaini Naisewa and Keleni Marawa. Then Salaseini and Setaita Railumu.

In the starting 15, prop Salanieta Nabuli will start at loosehead, with captain Vika Matarugu at tighthead prop. Marawa is at hooker.
