A Century of Rivalry: Fiji and Samoa Gear Up for the Pacific Nations Cup

This year marks the centenary of the historic rivalry between Fiji and Samoa. The two nations first met in 1924 when Fiji traveled to Samoa for a match. Notably, the game took place at 7 a.m. to accommodate the Fijian team’s schedule, as they needed to catch a boat back home later that day. This significant moment in rugby history underscores the enduring connection between the two countries. The FIJI Water Flying Fijians and Samoa will face off in the opening match of the Pacific Nations Cup at 6 p.m. tomorrow in Suva.
