Wow. All 31 are listed as playing for clubs outside Samoa.
But not Iona or Pisi? He seems to have moved past both in the past year to being the preferred player for both Force and Samoa.
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Ive been very impressed with Iona

Congratulations Henry.
It's a privilege for us to have you playing in WA and for the Western Force.
Hope you get some game time against Fiji and in the finals.
Enjoy and play well on the Spring Tour for Samoa.

Nice story on Henry
Western Force centre Henry Taefu’s remarkable rise to international rugby
Nick Taylor The West Australian
Friday, 12 October 2018 11:36AM
Western Force centre Henry Taefu has made a remarkable rise to international rugby after needing life-saving surgery five years ago.
And he says his selection for Samoa’s northern hemisphere tour next month is recognition for the Western Force.
Taefu will be looking to add to his one Test against Tonga last year when Samoa play the USA, Georgia and Spain as part of their World Cup build-up.
Having missed out on Samoa’s last tour selection came as a complete surprise for 25-year-old Taefu who played for Australia in the 2013 Junior World Cup.
