Brandon Nansen named in Manu Samoa Squad

New signing Brandon Nansen has been selected in the Manu Samoa squad to contest next month’s Pacific Nations Cup and Rugby World Cup qualifying matches.

Samoa will face Germany or Portugal for a place in the Rugby World Cup in Japan, whilst the Pacific Nations Cup will see Samoa take on Fiji and Tonga in Suva.

Head coach Fuimaono Titimaea Tafua said he and his fellow selectors were very happy with the squad and combinations they had come up with.

"We're confident that we've picked the right players for the Pacific Nations Cup as well as for the Rugby World Cup qualifying games," he said.

"We are aware that the task ahead is not easy for us but we will give it our 100% come game day."

He continued; “If you look at our squad it's a mix of old players (coming back) and new players being blooded in.

"But those are the players that put up their hands and their availability for us this time of year, especially this campaign for the (World Cup) qualifying round."

Full squad:

Forwards - Logovii Mulipola, Jordan Lay, Viliamu Afatia, Paul Alo-Emile, James Lay, Motu Matu'u, Seilala Lam, Elia Elia, Brandon Nansen, Josh Tyrell, Chris Vui, Joe Tekori, Jack Lam, TJ Ioane, Piula Faasalele, Mat Luamanu, Ofisa Treviranus.

Backs - Dwayne Polataivao, Melani Matavao, Tusi Pisi, Rodney Iona, Rey Lee-Lo, Alofa Alofa, Alapati Leiua, Paul Perez, Sinoti Sinoti, Ed Fidow, Ah See Tuala.
