Manu Samoa coach Stephen Betham has made six changes to his starting side to face Canada in Toronto.
Viliamu Afatia, Iosefa Tekori and Faifili Levave get a start in the pack with local lad Faialaga Afamasaga getting a chance in the number 12 jersey.
The other two changes from the team that drew with Fiji is the return of Sinoti Sinoti and Ah See Tuala out wide.
Stephen Betham says this is the coaching team's final opportunity to test combinations and to give some players more game time.
Fiji's John McKee has made nine changes to his run-on side to take on Japan, with Henry Seniloli and Josh Matavesi given a chance to impress in the halves.
McKee says this is a very important match in terms of their World Cup preparation and the PNC tournament, with a win required to progress to the final and a possible re-match with Samoa.
And Tonga's Mana Otai has changed up six positions for their clash with the USA, with number eight Viliami Ma'afu ruled out after picking up a shoulder injury in the win over Canada.
