The days here for Samoa They will never forget: the All Blacks playing Manu Samoa in Apia, a game many said would never happen, let alone in the professional era with Pacific Island rugby players scattered to the global economic winds of hefty contracts in Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. For the day, though, it was a game that stopped a nation. Maybe only the 1995 World Cup final in South Africa and Fiji beating the British Lions in Suva in 1977 come close in terms of national impact.
Most off Samoa players work 9-5 back home so I imagine playing in the World Cup is an honour for them and there family
