Funny how Fiji Airways has misplaced most of the Samoan teams luggage and training gear on route to California...some fierce rivalry between these two Pacific Nations..


Looking forward to this game which could decide who takes home the Pacific Nations Cup trophy. Samoa growing in confidence as is Fiji so should be an epic battle..

SA would do well to study the Samoan game before their RWC encounter .


Would'nt do RWC Pool A contenders Wales , Oz or England any harm studying the Fijian game either...the Fijians have risen 10 places up the World rankings and looking very dangerous..

 ...Fiji ahead at halftime  17 - 10 after a fast paced first 40...Nakarawa impressive here as in Europe has a double for Fiji.......Crusaders new flyhalf Volavola in action for Fiji...will be interesting to see if the Fijians can go the distance...

 enterteining game, worthy to watch.
Many important players from both teams missing which has probably influenced the defensive effort. The defense of today's Samoa had nothing to do with that of the one that played NZ.

Volavola had a very good game, guided the team to be dominant during big parts of the game, some good tactical kicks, and some good skills like the pass to the scrumhalf that preceded one of the fijan tries,......good manners in his second test match.
TJ Ioane impressive for Samoa.

...I agree...Pacifica rugby can foot it with anyone now... and who would've predicted a 30 all draw ?   -  with the departure of Slade and DC , Volavola is someone we will all be coming to see much more of in NZ....Canada and Tonga 15-10 at the moment at half time with US and Japan to follow in the triple header...both games could go either way..
