Clermont prop Peni Ravai joins Sam Matavesi and Mesake Doge in the front row, while experienced lock Api Ratuniyarawa comes in for Tevita Ratuva.
The Northampton Saints utility will call the lineouts in the surprise absence of Leone Nakarawa, with Albert Tuisue shifting to the blindside flank to allow for the return of Viliame Mate at number eight.
Frank Lomani is back at halfback after joining the squad late last week, while former sevens stars Eroni Sau and Josua Tuisova stars add some genuine x-factor on the wings.

Waisea Nayacalevu is part of an unchanged midfield pairing with Vilimoni Botitu and will captain the team at the Principality Stadium.
Meanwhile Fijian Drua hooker Zuriel Togiatama and Clermont centre Apisai Naqalevu are set to make their test debut off the bench.
Flying Fijians Northern Tour head coach Gareth Baber said the players have prepared well following their opening win against Spain last weekend.
"We named the team taking into consideration a little bit of continuity from last week and a couple of changes in positions as well," he said.
"I'm looking forward to seeing them go and we are excited about the prospects and the responsibilities ahead."

Flying Fijians head coach Vern Cotter is said their focus is to do little things right against Wales.
"We should get away with the mindset of just competing with these teams but actually playing to beat them," he said.
"We are working on the skills and on what we can do to become a more resilient opposition and learn to win.
"I hope we could get clarity in our set piece, get game lines off our carries and I hope defensively we defend well plus there are a lot of little things we need to do right against Wales."
