Northampton Saints' fullback Ahsee Tuala has been named in Samoa's starting line-up for the second week running ahead of the second round of the Pacific Nations Cup on Saturday.
The tournament is contested by Japan, Canada, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and the USA over three rounds on 27 July, 3 August and 9-10 August, offering all six teams a vital chance to fine-tune their squads ahead of the Rugby world Cup.
And with Samoa claiming a 25-17 win over Tonga last weekend, Tuala lines up with his fellow countrymen again this Saturday as Samoa take on USA in Fiji.
