KOBE, Japan: Samoa have accepted the decision to suspend two of their players for high tackles but do not agree with it, coach Steve Jackson said after he named a team that has been shorn of valuable experience for their clash with Scotland in Kobe on Monday.
Jackson said that assistant coach Alistair Rogers had pored over the video of both incidents and struggled to ascertain what else Lee-lo or Matu'u could have done to avoid the contact. Chris Vui, who led the side against Russia, has been retained as blindside flanker but handed the captain's armband to Lam.
The versatile Alapati Leiua, who scored two tries against Russia on the right wing, has moved into centre to replace Lee-lo.
