The Samoan rugby team will be without their captain, Piula Fa'asalele when they play Fiji this Saturday after he broke his wrist in their Pacific Nations Cup match against the USA.

Samoa's coach Steve Jackson says they have a few niggling injuries after the USA match and he is hopeful they recover on time.

Jackson says they will chuck every name that is available to them up on the board and then decide who is best to go and take the field on Saturday.

Fiji plays Samoa at 7.15pm this Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary of the match on Viti FM .
