This weekend’s Pacific Nations Cup match up between the Vodafone Flying Fijians and Manu Samoa has created a lot of excitement for the supporters of the two teams in Sacramento as they are looking forward to see Samoan wing Alesana Tuilagi going against the big Fijian backline.
Tuilagi who was devastated against USA in their 21-16 victory last week has been named to captain Samoa.
With Nemani Nadolo out of the PNC, Tuilagi will be up against either Waisea Nayacalevu or Asaeli Tikoirotuma.
Meanwhile, the Flying Fijians also showed a physical game against Tonga last week after second five eight Levani Botia bulldozed his way through the Tongan defence to set up the “try of the year” for Henry Seniloli.
Botia has combined well with Vereniki Goneva and they are expected to be starting again this weekend.
The Vodafone Flying Fijians will take on Samoa at 12pm Saturday.
