Australia A name side to face Samoa
12 June 2008, 2:32 pm

Australia A coach Phil Mooney has decided to chop and change his side to play Samoa in Apia in the second round of the IRB Pacific Nations Cup on Saturday.
Mooney has kept the nucleus of the side which dispatched Japan 42-21 in the first round, while bringing in some fresh legs to rejuvenate the team after a heavy travel schedule.

Why is Halangahu in the team, did he even play this season?
he must be ready to play, he should play well against the islanders
glad to see tyrone smith have a go.
I think Tahu played well enough last week to retian his spot and so did turinui.
Daruda though, should have made it before Halangahu.
GO TYRONE! and Scottyand all EWF Players
