Samoa returned to form in the 2024 Pacific Nations Cup, defeating Tonga 43-17 in their second match at Apia Park today. Following a disappointing 42-16 loss to Fiji last week in Suva, Samoa showcased a much-improved performance characterized by discipline and strong commitment from the players throughout the challenging game.
The home team led 17-0 at halftime and continued to assert their dominance in the second half, although Tonga managed to score points as they fought back. Samoa will now await the outcome of the upcoming Fiji-Tonga match to determine their qualification for the PNC semifinals.
