Who else does Piakura qualify for in addition to the Cook Islands? He’ll be disappointed Xman has gone with NZ.

That’s three very strong squads.

Australia, I'm surprised Karipani didn't get picked for Kiwis, there is a few players in that Kiwis side picked on reputation over form, I can see them getting exposed.

I could be wrong but I remember reading Karapani electing to play for Cook Islands.

I could be thinking of someone else, but I think he qualifies for them as well. Again, I could be wrong. I'm not entirely sure.

His wiki says he has a Samoan background but probably one of a few, but I would figure that would be even harder to break into with To'o and Mariner.
 
Crazy that the Kiwis are favourites against Samoa, who have a much better team on paper, seems like free money.

Especially with Stacy Jones as coach of the Kiwis who has never looked like he understands what coaching is.
 
You just know Pride Petterson-Robati is going to be 18th man.
 
I think Samoa wins the pacific championship this year, the first Major international trophy for them.
