Brian To’o and Jarome Luai have revealed how a pact to replicate Tonga’s rise at the 2017 World League World Cup inspired some of NRL’s biggest stars to commit to Samoa and are backing the Pacific nation to upset England in their opening match.

To’o and Luai are among six members of Penrith’s premiership winning team in the star-studded Toa Samoa squad, which includes State of Origin props Junior Paulo and Josh Papalii and teen sensation Joseph Suaalii.

Samoa will take on England at 1.30am this Sunday.

Meanwhile the Vodafone Fiji Bati will take on the Australian Kangaroos at 6.30am.
