Pisi will be replaced by Mike Stanley, who has been picked for his kicking skills, while hooker Motu Matu’u takes the place of Ole Avei, who is also relegated among the replacements.
Flanker TJ Loane takes the place of Maurie Fa'asavalu in the other change from the team that beat the United States 25-16 in their opening World Cup game in Brighton on Sunday.

Ken Pisi kept his place on the wing.
