I personally still feel Hammer in the centres, Sua at fullback and Mariner on the wing is a better mix for Samoa.
Does anyone know why we are persisting 8pm on Sunday night? I understand the heat but considering Samoa, Tonga and NZ are all ahead of us in the timezones, it'd be 10pm for them...
Whether KP plays or not makes a big difference. He would need to play 23 days post surgery. Any fracture requires 21 days to heal so he can't put any weight on it for 3 weeks. I think Hughes returned in 20 days after a broken hand so likely KP plays. I just don't know how confident he will be...

Volkmann did a solo try
JL set up the try down short side and kicked for Too second try

Cant do much in attack these days though but hope all the other players learn this from him
