📅 Match Details:
- Match: Samoa vs Tonga
- Competition: Pacific Championships Rugby 2025
- Status: LIVE
Tonga’s Pacific Championships campaign gets underway this afternoon at Suncorp Stadium when they take on Samoa, who are aiming to keep their tournament alive.
Samoa went down in a thriller to New Zealand last week and need to win this to remain a chance of progressing to the Pacific Cup final on November 9.
If Tonga win, they’ll play New Zealand in the final no matter what happens in next week’s fixture against the Kiwis.
Today’s clash shapes up as a beauty with Tonga fielding quite possibly the strongest team they ever have in a Test match.
They were the real surprise packets of last year’s tournament, losing to Australia in the 2024 Pacific Cup by just six points.
In a massive blow, star middle forward Jason Taumalolo is a late out via injury. He’s been replaced in the starting side by Felise Kaufusi.

Ben Gardiner knows the eyes of the world will be on Suncorp Stadium on Sunday, with the Samoa coach saying the must-win Test against Tonga was “bigger than rugby league”. A sea of blue and red is expected to pack out the stadium by the time the men kick-off their Pacific Championships match which will come after Fetu Samoa take on the Australian Jillaroos, with Gardiner excited to see how much the international game has grown.
