REUTERS: Utility back Matt Toomua is looking forward to Australia's final World Cup warmup but may not have his Samoan father's full support when the Wallabies play the Pacific islanders in Sydney on Saturday .
"The test is against a very strong Samoan team at home, so it's the last chance for us to play in front of our fans before Japan," 46-cap Toomua said at the Wallabies training camp in New Caledonia. Australia, thrashed 36-0 by the All Blacks at Eden Park in their last test, are expected to rest a number of key players for Samoa but flanker David Pocock could be named for his first match this season as he recovers from a calf injury.The 29-year-old Toomua, who is in line for his second World Cup campaign, said he would love to be handed a starting spot but would be happy to come off the bench and play anywhere Cheika asked.
