WESTERN Samoan captain Danny Kaleopa has a score to settle against New Zealand.
Kaleopa has spent the last 12 months itching for revenge against the New Zealanders after they beat the Samoans in the controversial quarter-final match in Hongkong.
Samoa, the team everyone wants to avoid in the Cup competition, were leading New Zealand in the first half and had expected to change ends with a huge psychological advantage.
But in quagmire conditions, the referee played on almost three minutes after the hooter sounded, allowing New Zealand to score and take the advantage, which they held on to.
Said Kaleopa: ''Last year was a real disappointment. Personally, I was really upset by what the referee did.
''We were doing well but the referee kept playing on after the hooter sounded. I even asked him when the half was going to stop but he just told me to go away.
