Rey Lee-Lo has been named in the Samoa squad for their summer Tests.
The Cardiff Blues centre has been in fine form in recent weeks and scooped the man-of-the-match award for his try-scoring performance in the weekend’s Guinness PRO12 victory over Edinburgh.
Lee-Lo has so far won six caps for his country, including four at last year’s Rugby World Cup.
The Pacific islanders will take on Georgia, Fiji and Tonga as they look to book their place at Japan 2019.
Samoa Head Coach Namulauulu Alama Ieremia said: "To play Georgia, who are the European Nations Cup Champions, in front of our local fans, is a great way to start the international season for Manu Samoa.
"Although Manu Samoa is going through a re-building phase, the immediate focus has to be the qualification for 2019 Rugby World Cup.
"The test matches against Fiji and Tonga are critical to the process of this qualification.
"I'm heartened by the fact that our experienced players are passionate and have come back to represent the Blue Jersey. It is also exciting to introduce the new breed of talent coming through the ranks, both locally and overseas."
