Wales unchanged for Samoa
16 September 2011 09:00am
By Ospreys Rugby
Wales have said 'same again' to the side so narrowly defeated by reigning world champions South Africa five days ago for the second round Rugby World Cup 2011 Pool D clash with Samoa on Sunday.
?Head coach Warren Gatland and his coaching team have named the same starting XV who claimed a bonus point as they went down 17-16 to the Springboks in Wellington, meaning the Ospreys again lead the way with five players in the starting line-up.
?One change appears on the bench with 76-times capped British & Irish Lions prop Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues) completing his return from a calf injury to be named in place of Ospreys front row forward Ryan Bevington.?
Meanwhile, Samoa havemade just the one change from the team that defeated Namibia 49-12 in midweek, with Ofisa Trevaranius taking over from injured Tasina Tuifua (ribs) in the back row. That means the Ospreys in the Wales team will come up against their new team-mates, Kahn Fotuali'i, who scored Samoa's first try of the competition, and George Stowers, who was IRB man of the match in the win over Namibia.
"We were extremely disappointed to lose last week against the Springboks, but we did maintain momentum with aspects of the performance providing a host of positive points to take into Sunday's match against Samoa," said Gatland.?
"We have re-grouped and the players are looking forward to getting back out on the pitch to largely pick up where they left off last weekend.?
"There are one or two areas we know we need to work on but we are looking for much of the same from all involved.?
"We could not fault the effort, passion and commitment of the players last week and we have simply said we are looking for the same again against Samoa on Sunday."?
