Samoa secured a decisive victory in the 2024 Pacific Nations Cup, defeating Tonga 43-17 in their second match at Apia Park. After suffering a significant loss of 42-16 to Fiji last week in Suva, the Samoan team rebounded impressively on home turf, showcasing enhanced discipline and commitment throughout the match.
The hosts took control early, leading 17-0 at halftime and maintaining that superiority in the second half, even as Tonga attempted to score. Samoa’s performance leaves them awaiting the outcome of the upcoming Fiji-Tonga match to determine their chances of qualifying for the PNC semifinals.
