Le au tapuai - The Supporters

The Fast and Serious crew from Room 4 spent three hours travelling to the Rotorua International Stadium to watch the Manu Samoa team play Namibia live.  It was a fun and an amazing experience to watch our country Samoa play their first rugby world cup pool game.  Tears welled up in Paulo's eyes when he sang the Samoan national anthem, because he was feeling the song in his heart.  The crowd went wild doing the Mexican wave.  We were cheering loudly and dancing weirdly every time Samoa scored and converted a try.  Paul Williams did a shoulder charge and he got sent to the sin bin for ten minutes.  Tusi Pisi was injured in the first half and Tasesa Lavea came on to replace him.  Mahroni Schwalger rested during the game, and Tuilagi got a hat trick.  Well done to Namibia for scoring two tries against the Manu.  What do we say?  "Nice try!"  Check out our photos - it was a jolly good show.

  3. Kia Ora Room 4

    Had so much fun watching your video clip of you singing the samoan anthem. Could see the pride in your faces. How cool is it knowing you were at their first game for the world cup. Gotta say I think you lot were their lucky charms because they sure showed Namibia how you win the game. Just a quick question to your class and your beautiful teacher, are you going to watch them again? I've never watched Samoa play live.....(wink! wink!)

  8. What a great experience - this is something you will never forget. I was at the very first RWC game ever in 1987 and I watched in awe as John Kirwan (legendary ABs winger) ran through the entire Italian team to score a try right in front of me! I loved the way you all sung the Samoan national anthem with so much passion and pride. Ka mau te wehi!
