Manu Samoa arrive for game against Ikale Tahi

Manu Samoa rugby team arrived in Tonga yesterday ahead of their Pacific Nations Cup test match against the Ikale Tahi team on Saturday.

The team is eager to take on Tonga on home soil in a much anticipated game at the Teufaiva Stadium.

It has been eight years since the Ikale Tahi played on home ground and Saturday’s game will be the first international match since the stadium was given the all clear by World Rugby officials earlier this month to host test matches.

As the visitors checked into Tanoa International Dateline Hotel yesterday afternoon, the Digicel team were ready to provide the team with assistance on Visitor SIMs and Top Up.

The squad of 36 members use Digicel in Tonga as a means to stay in touch with family and friends back in Samoa.
