This year marks a century of rivalry between Fiji and Samoa, two nations that first met on the rugby field in 1924 when Fiji played in Samoa. Remarkably, that initial match took place at 7 am to accommodate the Fijian team’s schedule, as they needed to catch a boat home later that day. This significant moment in rugby history underscores the enduring and special relationship between the two nations. The FIJI Water Flying Fijians and Samoa are set to clash in the opening match of the Pacific Nations Cup at 6 pm tomorrow in Suva.
