Rugby Rivalry at 100: Fiji vs Samoa Showdown

This year celebrates the centenary of the iconic rivalry between Fiji and Samoa. The two teams first confronted each other in 1924 during Fiji’s visit to Samoa. Notably, the match took place at 7 AM as the Fijian team needed to catch a boat back home later that day. This extraordinary event in rugby history underscores the deep-rooted and unique bond between the two nations. The Fiji Water Flying Fijians and Samoa are set to face off in the opening match of the Pacific Nations Cup tomorrow at 6 PM in Suva.
