Manu Samoa suffered a disappointing 42-16 loss to Fiji in the opening round of the Pacific Nations Cup 2024 in Suva. Despite a strong first half where they led 16-15, Samoa's performance deteriorated in the second half, largely due to poor discipline. Two yellow cards proved costly as they conceded 27 unanswered points, allowing Fiji to take control of the match.
Samoa’s early dominance, highlighted by D'Angelo Leuila’s excellent kicking, was undone by errors and Fiji's relentless pressure. Samoa struggled to regain momentum, leading to their defeat in this historic 100th year of Test rugby between the two nations.
