If both make it on to the field, they will become the second pair of brother-sister siblings to play for New Zealand on the same day, following Xavier and Annaleah Rush, who took on Australia at Sydney Football Stadium on 29 August 1998.
Wallace and Amarante’s father Semo Sititi, who played for Borders and Newcastle and captained Samoa, has travelled to Johannesburg for the match.
“Representing this country is a privilege but doing it alongside my brother is something special. I will always hold it in my heart,” said Amarante., external “It’s pretty surreal. I’m still buzzing out that I get to be here with my brother but it’s really cool and I’m so grateful.”
