Toutai Kefu the coach of the ‘Ikale Tahi has made three changes to his team to play the Manu Samoa in Hamilton tomorrow, Saturday 17 July.

Tomorrow’s game is very important for both teams. It is their second World Cup qualifying match within a fortnight.

The Manu Samoa won their first World Cup qualifying game 42-13 at the Mt Smart Stadium Auckland on 10 July. If the Manu Samoa will win tomorrow, they will qualify to participate in the 2023 World Rugby World Cup in France.

However, according to Toutai, if the ‘Ikale Tahi can beat the Manu Samoa by 30 points they will qualify for the World Cup.

Toutai has made three changes to his team for tomorrow. The Hooker, Sam Moli has been replaced by Siua Maile, and the lock Zane Kapeli, who was injured during the ‘Ikale Tahi/Manu Samoa Mt Smart game is replaced by Harrison Mataele.

The other changes to the ‘Ikale Tahi line up for Saturday is a swap between Kalione Hala who was the Outside Half, with James Faiva who was the Fullback.
