Seilala is expecting a tough task this weekend as they face Ireland in France.
Samoa head coach Seilala Mapusua is preparing to face “Leinster on steroids” ahead of Saturday’s World Cup warm-up clash with Ireland in Bayonne.
Former London Irish centre Mapusua has inside knowledge of the Dublin-based province thanks to the presence of prop Michael Ala’alatoa and coach Andrew Goodman in his camp.“Those boys become a different beast when they enter into the Ireland camp. Mapusua has a host of European-based players at his disposal and ambitions of guiding his country to the knockout stages.“Having quality coaches in our setup has meant that we’ve been able to build over the last two, three years, which is a big change from the last World Cup where the last head coach came in less than 12 months before.
