KOBE, Japan (Reuters) - 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.

Centre Rey Lee-lo and hooker Motu Matu'u were suspended for three games for high tackles during their opening Pool A match against Russia in Kumagaya last Tuesday.
