“To those of you have been selected, take the opportunity with both hands and bring home the glory our people expect from you,” he said. “Do the best you can. Be strong and go hard.”
Use the opportunity wisely and do your best.
Those were the parting words from Acting Prime Minister, Tuisugaletaua Sofara Aveau, to the men and women who will represent Samoa at the upcoming Federation of Oceania Rugby Union (F.O.R.U) Sevens in Australia this week.
