LILLE, France (Reuters) -Samoa named an all-new tight five for their Pool D fixture against England on Saturday with coach Seilala Mapusua promising his team will be "unapologetically Samoan" as they bid for their first win in the fixture

Mapusua made nine changes for game where his team will have the slimmest of quarter-final hopes and a slightly less-slim chance of finishing third in the group.
