Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has pledged his allegiance to Samoa, opting to prioritise the Pacific nation ahead of New Zealand in one of the biggest international swaps of this decade.
The Warriors star had been in talks with Samoa ever since his decision to return to rugby league late last year, following a stint in Super Rugby and with the All Blacks. One of New Zealand’s most accomplished players with 20 Tests and a Dally M Medal, Tuivasa-Sheck has ultimately decided to honour the nation of his birth and heritage.
