Former Australia fly-half Christian Leali’ifano will start for Samoa when they begin their Rugby World Cup campaign against Chile on Saturday.
Leali’ifano switched countries this year, having been the Wallabies’ top points scorer at the tournament four years ago.
He starts ahead of ex-New Zealand fly-half Lima Sopoaga for Saturday’s Pool D game in Bordeaux.
Opponents Chile lost 42-12 to Japan in their opening match last Sunday.
Leali’ifano, 35, is one of three three players in Samoa’s 23-man squad who have played a Test match for another nation.
Sopoaga and Steven Luatua earned 16 and 15 caps for the All Blacks respectively.
