Joseph Manu is back after following concussion protocols, resulting in Fetalaiga Pauga going back to being the 18th man. Connor Watson will be sidelined due to a throat injury and will be substituted by Sandon Smith. Victor Radley will shift to the second row for the upcoming game, while Naufahu Whyte takes up the lock position. This arrangement leads to Nat Butcher being listed among the reserves.
