The ‘Ikale Tahi will play their final game of the World Cup against the United States this weekend, on Sunday 13 October. 

Significant changes have been made from the team that nearly caused an upset against France last week. Wingers Viliami Lolohea and ‘Atieli Pakalani, replacing Cooper Vuna and David Halaifonua. 

Despite losing all of their pool matches so far, the ‘Ikale Tahi coach is pleased with how his team have improved in performance over the course of their world cup campaign.

"Everyone can see the improvement over the past three weeks," said Kefu. 

"We’ve improved out of sight and the last couple of games have been lost due to our own fault."
