With their grip on the Pacific Nations Cup 2019 loosening following last week's defeat to Japan, Fiji head coach John McKee has reacted by making several changes to his starting line-up and appointed a new captain in dynamic second-rower Leone Nakarawa.

The five-time champions need to beat Canada to stand any chance of adding another title to their honours board in the second match at the ANZ Stadium in Suva on Saturday. USA and Samoa, two of the winning teams from round one, kick off the doubleheader. Should Samoa follow up their victory over Tonga with another win, they will move ahead of the Eagles in the World Rugby Rankings.

Over in the Osaka Prefecture, Japan will be looking to build on their winning start against defending champions Fiji when they take on Tonga at the Hanazono Rugby Stadium, one of the 12 Rugby World Cup 2019 venues.
