KOBE, Japan - Samoa have accepted the decision to suspend two of their players for high tackles but do not agree with it, coach Steve Jackson said after he named a team that has been shorn of valuable experience for their clash with Scotland in Kobe on Monday.
The match against Scotland has major significance for the quarter-finals after hosts Japan upset Ireland 19-12 in Shizuoka on Saturday to take control of the pool. “In both cases, our players have bent their hips and they obviously didn’t go there intending to make contact anywhere above from where the ball is,” Jackson said.Factbox - Scotland v SamoaDespite losing two of his more experienced players, Jackson was able to bring Jack Lam back to lead the side against the Scots after the loose forward missed the Russia game through injury.
Scrumhalf Melani Matavao has also come into the starting side after Dwayne Polataivao failed a head injury assessment during the game and did not recover in time to be considered for the Scotland match.
