Toa Samoa have rung the changes for Saturday's decisive Rugby League World Cup clash against Scotland.
Fa'amanu Brown will partner Jarome Luai in the halves in Cairns, while Matthew Wright replaces Ken Maumalo on the wing and Frank Winterstein and Bunty Afoa will start up front in place of Leeson Ah Mau and Frank Pritchard.

Sam Tagataese has been named captain in Pritchard's absence, although the veteran backrower will start from the interchange bench.
After opening defeats against New Zealand and Tonga, the Toa must win their final group match to advance to the quarter finals.
Their chances were boosted when three Scottish players, including captain Danny Brough, were sent home after they were denied entry onto a flight for being too drunk.
Prop Luke Douglas will captain Scotland in their final group match.
