Radike Samo to feature for Reds at Brisbane Tens
Reds hero Radike Samo

Reds hero Radike Samo will be donning the Queensland jersey once again, named as the side's second Brisbane Tens wildcard.

Samo joins Chris Latham as one of two wildcards to line up for the Reds at this weekend's Tens and the announcement comes a week after he led the Classic Fijians at the Sydney Sevens.

The 40‑year‑old has stayed involved in rugby after his elite level retirement, playing in the NRC in recent times, but it's his Suncorp Stadium exploits of 2011 that fans will be hoping he can replicate on the weekend.

Samo says he was a bit surprised when they called up and adds he does not think he has the speed but he still enjoys rugby.

Samo remains quietly confident he will make an impact in a format of rugby he has played before.

Reds coach Nick Stiles said having players like Latham and Samo on board would be a major boost to the side.

The Reds take on Samoa, the Blues and the Crusaders in pool play tomorrow.
