Canada is Samoa A’s second match for the IRB Pacific Rugby Cup campaign and Head Coach Potu Leavasa hopes to end Samoa’s drought in winning the championship title. Manu Samoa XV Head Coach and Technical Adviser Stephen Betham says the coaching team had been working on improving some of the weaknesses from Tongan’s clash.
“We had been focusing on the tight 5 movement on the field especially during scrum and lineout, of which they need to move with urgency.”
“Other than that we are quite confident that we are ready for today’s match against Canada.’
