That’s the day when the Manu Samoa will take on the All Blacks at the Apia Park.
An employee of M.C.I.L who is not authorised to speak to the media, said they have not been informed about such a decision.
“There isn’t a public holiday,” said the employee.
“We haven’t been informed if there is any.
“So at the moment it’s a normal day for public servants.
“If there is a decision it would have to come from Cabinet but so far we haven’t received a directive on that.”
The All Blacks arrive on Monday, kicking off a countrywide celebration with a number of festivities planned until Thursday.
With the game at Apia Park kicking off at 3p.m., most ticket holders are likely to take the day off from work.
And should Manu Samoa win, it could mean several days away from work.
