Samoa had a better cup, but tonga beat them earlier this year, so I think it's fair to say they're "arguably" better than samoa. There's a debate to be had. In full flight I prefer Tonga, remembering they were missing mateo, and yeah just didn't play well.

Fiji with hayne at 6 would be my pick of the pacific nations.

Can anyone translate that interview from Moi Moi at the end? Seemed like he was taking the piss from an English question and probably had a joke about the reporter who had no idea haha.
Voss was pissing himself after it.
What about that pub he kept talking about haha

Why do you have that img html crap at the end of every one of your posts?

I watched the Samoa-Tonga game earlier this year but it was quite a different team than the one which is at this World Cup. And about missing players, Mateo made himself eligible for NSW and Australia, if in that case of debate, you could point out that guys like SBW, Kasiano, Matulino, Pritchard, Matai, FPN, RTS, Papalii, Leuluai are missing from the Samoan team right?

Well Mateo captained tonga not so long ago, I assumed there was some other reason he wasn't at the WC. Weird time to decide to abandon them, he would have made the nsw team a couple of years ago, now I'm not so sure.

I saw him on TV the other day. He was a judge at the redbull trolley grand prix. Probably pays more.

Missing Mateo? lol hes played against Samoa a few times and has made no difference an lost every time. Samoa were missing lots players for this cup. Tongas earlier win was a credit to them but they wouldnt do that to Samoa 2 times in a row and that Samoan team was totally different to this team playing at this world cup and this is still not strongest team Samoa could have fielded as up to about 15 players pulled out or were injured.
