This year marks the centennial of the historic rivalry between Fiji and Samoa. The two nations first met on the rugby field in 1924 when Fiji traveled to Samoa for a match. Notably, the game was scheduled for 7 am to accommodate the Fijian team’s need to catch a boat back home later that day. This unique moment in rugby history underscores the deep-rooted and special connection between these two nations. The FIJI Water Flying Fijians and Samoa will clash in the opening match of the Pacific Nations Cup tomorrow at 6 pm in Suva.
