Fosi Pala'amo's Leeds Carnegie debut has been put on hold after the giant prop was called into the Samoan World Cup squad to replace injured prop, Justin Va'a.

The heavyweight front-rower, who tips the scales at 22st 12lbs, had been on stand-by for the Manu Samoa. However, a number of injuries sustained by the Manu Samoa has seen him fly out to France to join his fellow countrymen in their preparations for Saturday's crucial match against England.
