Celebrating a Century: The Fiji vs. Samoa Rugby Rivalry

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.
