Samoa will be the underdogs in their Rugby League World Cup clash against Tonga in Hamilton tomorrow, according to prop Herman Ese'ese.

Speaking to media today, Ese'ese suggested that all of the pressure is on Mate Ma'a Tonga going into the clash, having stormed to a 50-4 opening win over Scotland in Cairns last week.

"There's no spotlight on us," Ese'ese said.

"We're just sticking together as a tight group, as a team. We're not putting anyone else in front of us.

"We're just gonna worry about ourselves, keep turning up for each other and hopefully we do that on Saturday night."
