Aussie footy powerhouse raiders.com.au is buzzing with the news that Sasagi has been named in the Samoa squad for the upcoming clash against England.

The Roosters' Dominic Young unfortunately got sidelined with a hand injury, and Rabbitohs' Tom Burgess got the chop as England announced their 19-man squad for the big showdown in Leeds.

Over on the Samoan side, Jake Tago from Parramatta stepped in to fill his brother Izack's shoes from Penrith, who's out with an injury.

It seems like the return of former Canterbury player Luke Thompson from suspension was the deciding factor in Burgess losing his spot after a lackluster performance in the First Test, which England claimed victory in with a scoreline of 34-18.
