Tokyo - Fiji on Monday unveiled a raft of changes for their Rugby World Cup Pool D game against Uruguay, with only three players surviving from their opening clash with Australia.
Captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu, loose forward Leone Nakarawa and centre Semi Radrada will be the only remaining starters from the Australia game for Wednesday's match.
There was no place in the matchday squad for flanker Peceli Yato, who left the field with a concussion during Fiji's 39-21 defeat to Australia on Saturday.
Josh Matavesi was named at flyhalf with his brother Samuel on the bench, while Mesulame Dolokoto, Jale Vatubua and Filipo Nakosi will make their World Cup debuts.
Meanwhile, Uruguay coach Esteban Meneses picked a young side for his team's first match, including two playing professional rugby in France.
Los Toros will be led by flyhalf Felipe Berchesi, who plays for the southern French team Dax, and can also count on experienced flanker Juan Manuel Gaminara, who played all three games for Uruguay at the 2015 World Cup.
The Flying Fijians impressed in the first half of their match against Australia, but tired after the break in a highly physical encounter.
The match is a repeat of the pool game in 2015 which Fiji won 47-15.
It is one of two matches played in Kamaishi, at the only purpose-built stadium in the World Cup.
The small town in north-eastern Japan with a proud rugby history was devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Locals are hoping that successfully staging the two matches will give the world a powerful sign of recovery.
