This year commemorates the 100th anniversary of the longstanding rivalry between Fiji and Samoa. The two countries first competed against each other in 1924 when Fiji visited Samoa. Notably, the match took place at 7 AM to accommodate the Fijian team, which needed to catch a boat back home later that day. This historic moment in rugby underscores the deep-rooted and unique relationship between the two nations. Tomorrow, the FIJI Water Flying Fijians and Samoa will face off in the opening match of the Pacific Nations Cup at 6 PM in Suva.
