Samoa Barbarian U20 have made a few last minute changes ahead of their game this after noon against Australia Samoa U20 in round two of the Samoa Tri Nations tournament currently held in Auckland.

 

Samoa Barbarian U20 Team Manager, Namulau'ulu Sami Leota, says the change to their starting team is due to injuries from their match against Aotearoa Samoa last Saturday in the first round.

 

Both Samoa Barbarian U20 and Australia Samoa U20 need a win in order to have a chance of winning the U20 Division.

 

Australia Barbarian U20 lost to New Zealand Barbarian 5 to 32, while Samoa Barbarian went down to the second team, Aotearoa Samoa U20, fielded by host union New Zealand Samoa Rugby Union in a close match 13 to 16.

 

NZSRU President, Aiolupotea John Roache, said "New Zealand teams did well in the first round, but with two more rounds to go, it can go in favour of Australia and Samoa."

 

The Samoa Tri Nations tournament is played round robin with the second round taking place today (Wednesday NZ Time) starting at 1pm with NZ Samoa against Aotearoa Samoa U20. At 2:30 pm, Samoa Barbarian U20 will play Australia Samoa U20. At 4 pm, New Zealand Samoa will play Aotearoa Samoa in the senior division and the last game at 5:30 pm is between Samoa Barbarian against Australia Samoa also in the senior division.
