Fiji head coach Mick Byrne announced on Thursday an unchanged starting lineup for this weekend's Autumn Nations Series game against France in Bordeaux.

Text size:

Australian Byrne has kept faith with the team to lose 38-18 at England last weekend for this Saturday's meeting with Les Bleus.

His 23-man squad includes seven players based in France with Racing 92 powerhouse Josua Tuisova starting in the centre and his club team-mate Selestino Ravutaumada on the right wing.

There is one alteration among the substitutes with former England under-20s prop Tim Hoyt set for his Test debut.

The Worcester Warriors 22-year-old front-rower qualifies for the Pacific Islanders through a Fijian parent and replaces Samu Tawake on the bench.

Fiji (15-1)

Salesi Rayasi; Selestino Ravutaumada, Kalaveti Ravouvou, Josua Tuisova, Jiuta Wainiqolo; Caleb Muntz, Simione Kuruvoli; Viliame Mata, Elia Canakaivata, Pita Gus Sowakula; Temo Mayanavanua, Isoa Nasilasila; Mesake Doge, Tevita Ikanivere (capt), Eroni Mawi

Replacements: Zuriel Togiatama, Haereiti Hetet, Tim Hoyt, Mesake Vocevoce, Kitione Salawa, Sam Wye, Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula, Sireli Maqala
