MARSEILLE, France - Semisi Paea will start at number eight in the place of suspended Vaea Fifita, while there are two new wings in Anzelo Tuitavuki and Fine Inisi for Tonga in their Rugby World Cup Pool B clash against South Africa in Marseille on Sunday.

Fifita received a four-game ban for his red card against Scotland last time out, a fixture in which Tonga were often on the disciplinary edge, something they will have to watch against the physical Springboks.
