YORK City Knights' new signing, Tabua Cakacaka, will be hoping Samoa beat Tonga at Headingley tomorrow (ko 3.45pm).

The match is the Federation Shield opener ahead of Engand's tussle with France, and doubles up as the final game in the Pacific/Oceania World Cup qualifying group.

If Samoa win, it means Cakacaka's Fiji side are through to the finals in Australia in 2008. A Tonga win means it comes down to points-difference between the three sides, with two places up for grabs.
