The Dabaris pack will be looking to combine well with their backline combination of Amon Lesley, Darrell Victor, Johnny Benson, Emmanuel Morea and Junior Wala.
The Reds will count on forwards Lahui Ronnie, Danny Doko, Maino Kari and Havea Morea lay the foundation for backs Morea Heni Jr, Avuru Nou, Lou Nou, Morea Tau and Nou Kelly.
The Lealea team have no big-name players, but they play unorthodox style of football which can stun the opposition.
