Japanese fans get behind Samoa

Close to 40 employees from law firm Morrison and Foerster attended the game in Toyota on Saturday night decked out in Manu colours, after being 'recruited' by colleague Louise Stoupe, a proud New Zealand born Samoan.

Stoupe is a partner in the American firm's Tokyo office and admits she was the driving force behind the firm's decision to sponsor the Samoan team earlier this year.
