Both debuts will be made in the backline with Lalomilo Lalomilo set to start at outside centre in his first outing for Samoa. He will partner the experienced Alapati Leiua in the midfield in Suva in the opening round of the championship.

Lalomilo was part of the Samoan sevens team that finished tenth at the Olympic games earlier this month.

He will make his debut alongside another former sevens star Tuna Tuitama, who will start on the wing.

A further two more debuts could be handed out from the bench, with tighthead prop Brook Toomalatai and back row Jonah Mau’u both named among the substitutes.

Why the ‘State of Origin’ will have a big say in Schmidt’s Wallabies selection

After losing access to my crypto wallet due to a phishing scam, I was desperate for help. I came across ExpressHacker99 and decided to give them a try. From the first email to ExpressHacker99@gmail.com, their team was professional and transparent. They explained the recovery process clearly and didn’t ask for any upfront fees, which made me feel more at ease.

Within a few weeks, they successfully recovered a significant portion of my funds. Their expertise and dedication were evident throughout the process. I highly recommend ExpressHacker99 to anyone facing a similar issue. They’re trustworthy, skilled, and truly deliver results.

My name is [Carmen Beechum, and I invested $500,000 into what | believed was a legitimate trading platform. Everything appeared professional-the website was well-designed, customer service was responsive, and my trading account even showed promising returns.It all seemed too good to be false.However, when I attempted to withdraw my funds, I was met with endless delays and excuses. First, they claimed there were technical issues, then they needed additional verification, and finally, they requested a release fee before processing my withdrawal. Despite complying with their demands, my account was eventually frozen, and all communication from the platform ceased. That's when reality hit me—l had been scammed out of half a million dollars. Desperate to find a way to recover my money, I searched online for solutions. That's when I came across PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY, a company dedicated to helping victims of online financial fraud. At first, I was skeptical-after all, I had already been deceived once, and the last thing I wanted was to fall for another scam. But after speaking with their team and reviewing their success stories, I decided to take a chance.Their experts immediately got to work, using advanced blockchain forensics and investigative tools to trace my stolen funds. WhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234They identified the fraudulent wallets where my money had been transferred and collaborated with financial institutions and law enforcement agencies to take action. Thanks to their persistence and expertise, they were able to freeze the scammers' accounts and successfully recover my $500,000. What seemed like a devastating loss turned into a remarkable recovery. I am incredibly grateful to PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY for not only retrieving my funds but also restoring my peace of mind. My experience serves as a warning to others-always be cautious with online investments, but if you ever become a victim, know that recovery is possible with the right experts on your side.
