Awesome to see Polynesians prolific in league and union at top level ..and inspiring the yougins to come after tem . But remember basically they all are OZ or NZ born totally developed their skills by the programs that are set in these country's especially and predominantly league ,, and earn a pretty excellent living from it . They choose to represent the country of the parents and some cases grand parents orgins ,, When some cases they were selected for Aus or NZ for this W/C but choose otherwise . They aren't 2nd tier nations because they don't have especially league in those countries doesn't exist that l know of , nor financially supported by those nations . It's fantasifull to keep praising it as they came from a particular place .. In real terms they are Kiwis or Australians with that particular cultural background .

Absolute hiding

Thanks mate for ruining it

Lol making it to the finals but not winning. Ouch

You performed very well and you have done a worderful World Cup campaign. Congratulations !

@poor ned And? That doesn't mean they aren't Samoan, there's a reason they played for Toa Samoa and not Australia :)

@@poorned5148hat’s your point here? You want all players to play for Australia and NZ? If that’s the case no one would give a shit about the World Cup. They’re still eligible to represent their proud heritage

Agree with you. Toa Samoa put Samoa on the map. But sadly ruined by some (not all of them) arrogant supporters during their parades.

@M if you were a true fan of the sport you'd be calling it football not soccer, pleb

@@eliasefo244 How? just stfu

@@Bloom0915 I like your arrogant attitude. Exactly people like you I am talking about. This is how? 17 players put their Lives, sweat and bodies on the rugby field to represent Samoa. They felt the pain from every tackles, scratches and blood to put Samoa on the map. But sadly ruined by SOME (not all) people (maybe you are one of those) breaking the law. Illegally driving with people on the bonnet of their cars, at the back of their utes etc.. The one that got arrested is a good example of what I meant. I have rather be Humble and keep my Pride up my sleeve than be an idiot.

@@eliasefo244 And? Did it hurt you? You talked like this is the first time you've seen celebrations like that. People got arrested? No one got arrested just your negative thoughts that got arrested. People like you are the reason why the world is full of hatred and sadness.

This is not real rugby. It’s this derivative sport called Rugby League.

Hundred percent agreed 👍👍👍

Believe it or not, but the game has actually gotten worse in recent years due to poor rule changes. The good news is that you can watch past games pretty easily on the internet.

@M Lol 😂😂🤣🤣

@M All the top countries in soccer have huge populations so of course the fan base is huge.

@M What was the point of that little rant?

@M but you're a fan of rugby that's why you're here 😂

Hay off to Samoa 🇼🇸 Loser !

Can we be friends

I was tipping Samoa to pull this one out infact you matched them in all areas of the game however Samoa lacked flare and was over protective of the ball and too scared in keeping the ball alive for chances that went begging..it was like watching 2 nrl clubs playing ref was also nrl...Rugby league is growing in the pacific one day the pacific tide will change that enough is enough..go Samoa Tonga & PNG you truely showed cause....just my personal world cup view

@@Bloom0915 That's plain dumb.

You are right that there are far too many little technicalities in Union that allow the referees to blow the pea out of there whistle. Now they've made it even worse with the bar for sin bins and send offs being lowered, so we're seeing a flood of those over the last few years to make it even worse. Union is going backwards as a sporting spectacle.

I made the switch, never ever will I go back to Union

Tell your wife to live in Australia!

@@bungeye3522 we used to. Long story. We miss Brisbane a lot.

Union has become a joke. The rule changes over the years has taken away the credibily of the game. The refs are not sure. I go way back to the 70s with Union and I feel so sad

Great future 💯🔥

@@Christian-Roots818 huh? 🤨

I like rugby league but let's be honest, the first 3/4 of this tournament was a farce with embarrassing scorelines & half empty stadiums.

@@robbielawson4828 reflects the strength of the global game. No one really worth getting up for other than Aus, NZ and Eng.

@@paddyanglais91 I just wish more RL fans would be honest and not say it was a great tournament. Some of the games were cringeworthy played in front of empty stadiums. The England / Greece game was a joke. The final was at Elland Road last week.

Lol the tournament was a joke.

was luai playing ? i didnt catch the game..

If all islanders keep going to nz and aus to get developed they might dominate, most are born in those 2 countries.

Are all Fiji's 7s team members born in Australia and New Zealand to dominate the 7s.

@@samsonsupaka5911 your talking about rugby league not sevens

What matters?

Samoa was made up of Australians and Kiwis lol what a joke.

All teams are made up of Aussies and Kiwis. This isn't even a WC it's the NRL with international jersies.

@M Nonsense. Rugby League is a far superior game. I understand McDonald's is very popular and that is pure filth. By the way it's called Association Football not soccer.

@M Nothing screams NPC stooge like someone pushing soccer with a MU avatar.

No but they LOSE sometimes.

Loose never though

Yeah they are

They beat 2 tier 1 countries this year, tonga and England

Unless they beat New Zealand or Australia then they can be considered a Tier 1 Team

@@sydfieldmasmafua4888they beat tonga, that’s all that matters😂😂😂😂

@@faigavaega5679Caveman mentality speaks volumes. You wanted the Toa Samoa to be the same hype. And it wasn’t from the right place. It wasn’t just about beating Tonga - y’all just wanted to one up Tonga like the jealous insecure sibling that you are. True colours coming out. Just sad man..Pray for you 🙏🏾

That has always been the case in England because they often play on football/soccer grounds. Certainly makes it harder to rely on the bomb as an attacking weapon.

Yep . Need to change grounds, they play the grand final there as well in our league competition. 3m in goal area which drops off sharply to metal hoardings ! All about money because has a bigger capacity then more suitable grounds . Won't play it at Wembley because the fan base is mainly up North and they're fed up with having to pay for travel and extortionate food and drink prices at Wembley.

Hell yeah

Just as good as the great teams of the past.

@@lift4life332 nah

It’s a changing of the guard no more cam smith etc.... but I think over time Cleary/Munster combination can get better we’ll have to see New Zealand are looking good

All of samoas player were born in Australia or New Zealand except Steven Crichton these guys don’t have any respect of the country that they were raised on all they care about is were there parents and grandparents come from and if they decide to represent the country they were raised from as in Australia or New Zealand you Pacific Islanders say they only do it for money the Fijian and png players are all from those country’s and represent them polys have no respect for there country of origin not all poly players but most of you and don’t play in state of origin but not Australia

@KOHLIN7 AND F SAMOA 😆

Because all the childhood prodigies go to rugby league cause the pay is so much better and it has a bigger audience (locally). If league didn't exist, our union side would dominate, but let's pray that doesn't happen. That game is so boring now days

Could ask the same of New Zealand in Union until recently. Union games have gotten closer over decades of regular international tournaments, which is something League just doesn't have.

this is rugby league not rugby
