Manu Samoa
Manu Samoa — the Warriors of the Pacific. Samoa are one of rugby union's most beloved and exciting nations, with a passionate playing style, a fierce Siva Tau war dance, and a tradition of producing world-class players who have graced the top clubs and international teams across the globe. When Samoa play, the world watches.
History
Samoa's rugby history is one of the sport's great stories. A small island nation of just 200,000 people that has consistently produced world-class rugby players and competed at the highest level of the international game. Their finest World Cup performances came in 1991 and 1995, when they reached the quarter-finals and defeated Wales and Argentina respectively — results that announced Pacific Island rugby to the world.
Samoa have been a consistent presence at Rugby World Cups and are known for their physical, passionate, and entertaining brand of rugby. The challenge of retaining their best players — many of whom are eligible for New Zealand, Australia, and other nations — has always been significant, but Manu Samoa continue to represent their island with enormous pride and produce performances that capture the hearts of rugby fans worldwide.
Kit History & Colours
Royal blue and white — the Manu Samoa colours worn with Pacific Island pride. Samoa's home kit is bold and distinctive, and the royal blue jersey has been worn by some of the most physically imposing and skilful players in rugby history. The Samoan flag's red and white stars feature in the crest, connecting the team to their island identity.
