With both sides having already lost once in the pool stages - Samoa were edged out by Wales while Fiji were outclassed by South Africa - neither can afford to lose if they are to stand a chance of reaching the last eight of the tournament.
As a result Samoa head coach Titimaea Tafua has opted to put out his best XV for the all-Pacific islands encounter.
Tusi Pisi has been cleared to play after being forced to pull out of the 17-10 defeat to Wales at the 11th hour, while Taiasina Tuifua is also back to full fitness.
Giant prop Census Johnston also comes into the line-up, with Tasesa Lavea, Ofisa Treviranus and Anthony Perenise all making way.
Bath-bound Perenise drops to the bench, where he is joined by Filipo Levi, Manaia Salavea, Jeremy Sua and James Sooialo.
