THE MEN TO LOOK OUT FOR AT MURRAYFIELD...

SAMOA

LONG-HAIRED lock CHRIS VUI has become a talisman at Pat Lam’s Bristol since a summer switch from Worcester and takes over as Samoa captain for the UK tour, having made his debut last year. The Samoans have dangerous backs, notably Reynold Lee-Lo and Tim Nanai-Williams, but watch out for uncapped JAMIE-JERRY TAULAGI, the Sunwolves full-back/wing.

DONALD BRIGHOUSE may sound more Scottish than Samoan but, if he gets his chance, the powerful former New Zealand Under-20 cap will attempt to show his loyalty by demolishing the home scrum.

NEW ZEALAND

IF filling Dan Carter’s shoes was the hardest job in rugby, no one told BEAUDEN BARRETT, whose superb skills and game management this year has left Kiwis asking: ‘Dan who?’

RIEKO IOANE scored twice in the first Test against the Lions and, top try-scorer in the Rugby Championship with Israel Folau on five, the 6ft 2in, 20-year-old winger now has eight in nine caps. Skilful, fast and clever is not the common description of front rows but DANE COLES is not your common hooker. The Hurricane loves running, passing and beating men, and cares not for the number on his back.

AUSTRALIA

THE 16-stone, 6ft 3in Fiji-born centre TEVITA KURIDRANI is a colossus for the Brumbies and the Wallabies. He recently turned down a French fortune to stay in Oz. Bagged a hat-trick of tries against Japan yesterday. A new Wallaby name is NED

HANIGAN, who will be on his first UK tour. The Australian Rookie of the Year, who plays lock and flanker, from Randwick is a mature and skilful performer. Underrated and versatile, REECE

HODGE was the Wallabies’ matchwinner against New Zealand last month with a try and massive goal-kicks. He stepped in at fly-half against Japan yesterday.
