Americas Pacific Challenge a chance to impress

The Samoan squad suffered a hiccup midweek when their connecting flight from Chile was cancelled without their knowledge, leaving them stranded at Santiago Airport.

Samoa A take on Uruguay A first up tomorrow morning in Montevideo and Namulauulu is expecting three difficult matches over the next eight days.

"The Fiji Warriors are obviously champions for the last two or three years (in the Pacific Rugby Cup)," he said.
