Vereniki Goneva will play opposite fellow Tiger Manu Tuilagi as he is named in the centres for Fiji's tour match at Twickenham on Saturday. Despite featuring mainly on the wing for Tigers Goneva is no stranger to the centre having won 10 of his 26 Fijian caps there and playing regularly in the position for Tarbes last season.
Goneva's inclusion brings the number of Tigers on show at Twickenham to 8 with 7 starting.
Other familiar names are Exeter's Sireli Naqelevuki and Gloucester's Akapusi Qera. Llanelli's Deacon Manu captains from tighthead prop.
