Samoa: Storm prop Tino Faasuamaleaui returns to Samoa after representing the Junior Kangaroos last Friday in Wollongong. All the players in the 17-man line-up have NRL experience with props Junior Paulo and Martin Taupau forming an impressive engine room with Knights hooker Danny Levi.

Fiji: The Bati are without the suspended Maika Sivo so Isaac Lumelume is the other winger alongside Melbourne's Suliasi Vunivalu. Kane Evans, Tui Kamikamica and Viliame Kikau will lead the Fijian forward charge.
