The Samoan rugby team are in town ahead of their opening Rugby World Cup clash against the U.S.A in Brighton and popped into the Body Shop in North Street.
The athletes sampled some of the shops top products, but there were some unexpected home comforts for the Pacific Islanders.
Body Shop’s Community Fair Trade Coconut Oil comes from Samoa, and was a firm favourite with the squad.
Among those to sample the creams and lotions was giant wing Alesana Tuilagi, brother of England’s Manu Tuilagi. Brighton Community Stadium will host two group games of this year’s Rugby World Cup on the opening weekend.
South Africa open their campaign on Saturday September 19, against Japan and Samoa will take to the field the following day.
