History of Manu Samoa Rugby Team

The Samoa national rugby union team is owned by the affiliated rugby unions of Samoa. This Manu Samoa Rugby team is the men’s representative side of Samoa in rugby union which is also referred to as Manu Samoa. In honor of a famous Samoan warrior, the Manu Samoa Rugby Squad’s nickname was kept. It is in 16th position in the World Rugby Rankings as of December 24th 2018.

Rugby was introduced to Samoa in the early 1920s when the Marist Brothers brought the game of rugby to Western Samoa in 1924 and a governing body, Western Samoa Rugby Football Union was formed. Their first international match was held as Western Samoa against Fiji in August 1924 in the capital Apia, the visitors winning 6–0. Manu Samoa wears blue and white uniforms.
