  • Samoa have won 3 of their last 5 matches. 
  • Samoa defeated Romania by 22 points in

Romania have a slight edge over Samoa, with two victories to one in three meetings. 

Samoa Form 


Samoa had no answer in their Nations Cup match against Georgia last weekend, losing 33-12 after trailing 16-7 at half-time.

However, Manu Samoa had an impressive start to their campaign, thumping Hong Kong China 66-19.

Samoa are third in the Americas-Pacific Pool with five points from two matches.

Samoa have been in decent nick in recent outings, and will start confidently against Romania, as their opponents have lost four of their last five fixtures.

Romania Form 


Romania dropped points for the second consecutive match in the competition last weekend, drawing 36-36 with Uruguay away from home after leading their opponents 22-17 at the break.

Before that, Romania faced Chile in their opening Nations Cup fixture, losing 48-31 to their opponents.

The Stejarii are fourth in the European-African-Asian Pool with four points from two matches.

Romania have been struggling to win their matches this year, and face a tough assignment against Samoa, as their opponents have won three of their last five games.
