I'm assuming Shag will name his 23 over the weekend.

I guessing that there will not be too many changes from Samoan test, perhaps to let players either play themselves in or out of team (Dagg etc) and let a few of the Clan and Cane players have a bit of a rest.

Team to be named tomorrow, but there is apparently a "leaked" team that has SBW and Nonu in the midfield and Dagg, Piutau and Naholo back 3. TJP and Carter at 9 and 10.

Interesting, Naholo out for season and Milner-skudder not with them for SA, so the back three for the RWC is there.

DC for Sopoaga, TKB for Ellis, Sam Cane for either Vito or Messam and Crotty might be cut for an additional forward or Cory Jane, and that is my prediction for the RWC squad.

Milner-Skudder is apparently still carrying an injury from S15 final, it seems Hika Elliott is also injured
