The blaze started around 6pm on Saturday night, at the Savalalo market near the centre of Apia.

Our correspondent, Autagavaia Tipi Autagavaia, says a portable gas stove is suspected to have caused the blaze.

He says he spoke to an eyewitness, one of the market's security guards, who saw smoke rising from one of the stalls.

For New Zealand the victory followed an 11-0 defeat of Samoa on Match Day 1, and inches them closer to securing qualification to the semi-finals.

Coach Gareth Turnbull made some changes to his side before the match and was pleased with how they handled the stubborn New Caledonia defensive formation.

“At the start of the game New Caledonia pressed really well which is a credit to them,” Turnbull says.

“We thought we passed well but found it difficult to work in the tight spaces.

Our correspondent, Autagavaia Tipi Autagavaia, says the market caught fire at about 6pm local time, and the whole building in the centre of town was completely engulfed within an hour.

He says the market was closed when it caught fire and there was nobody inside.

Autagavaia says firefighters have brought the fire under control.

The Samoans, who are making their tournament debut, were thrashed 11-0 by New Zealand in their opening match.

One player is out of the tournament after fracturing her knee during the game while two players who also left the field with muscle soreness have recovered in time to line up against Tonga this evening.

The Prime Minister was responding to the issue of chiefs interfering with running resorts out in the rural communities where they are charging tourists an additional sum aside from the payments to be made to the resorts.

Tired and weary after touching down in Auckland off a long-haul flight from the United States, that didn't stop Bergman from making any bold declarations for the January 23 fight, billed as the 'Rumble in Paradise'.

Bergman's record stands at 25-11-2 with 16 knockouts but the stocky American comes with some pedigree having sparred with three world champions, most recent recently WBC title-holder Deontay Wilder ahead of this weekend's defence against Artur Szpilka.

This is why he places great importance on the duties of the Police and the Ministry of Education Sports and Culture to ensure children are inside classrooms instead of the side of the roads.

The 'Rumble in Paradise' against American Jason Bergman will be Parker's sixth fight in the last 10 months and the busy schedule is catching up with him.

This is the only death report brought to the police in the first week of January out of the 240 cases reported into the ministry.
