Manusamoa Ready To Take On The Scots 16/11/2005 The Manu Samoa has now announced its starting 15 for the test against Scotland this weekend. The new caps for the Manu Samoa are Jonathan Faamatuainu at no.5, Garrick Cowley at no.9 and Eliota Sapolu at second five. Roger Warren has moved to fullback with Tanner Vili partnering with Carrick Cowley at first five and half back. Using Eliota Sapolu at second five will be a interesting decision as he will be critical at defense and linking up with Tuilagi at centre.
The return of Mahroni Schwalger to the front row with Cencus Johnston is also an interesting combination as the Scots are targeting domination at the scrum as a platform for their must win game against the Manu Samoa.
The Manu Samoa are the underdogs as they go into the test as they are ranked at 12th while Scotland is ranked at 9th in the world. | The Manu Samoa team is 1. Justin Va'a Prop 2.
