Fiji team versus Japan
Fiji open their World Cup campaign on Wednesday against Japan and field a full strength side except for Maleli Kunavore, Filimone Bolavucu and Ifereimi Rawaqa because of injury. Head coach Ilivasi Tabua has gone for a massive front five to out muscle the small Japanese. The only major surprise comes at full back, where Saracens utility back Kameli Ratuvou has edged incumbent Norman Ligairi to the bench to win his first Test start.
