Apia Park upgrade

Manu Samoa hopeful for Apia Park upgrade

The Manu came from behind to win 25-17 at Apia Park to secure their first win over the 'Ikale Tahi in three years.

World Rugby officials were close to calling off the match before kick-off, with the playing surface resembling a mud-bath following sustained periods of heavy rain in the Samoan capital.

"It looked like it was going to clear up for a period of time there, but it came in again and it bucketed down in the warm-up and everyone was soaked," said Manu Samoa head coach Steve Jackson.
