Italy's 18-15 win over Scotland in rain-sodden Rome has resulted in the teams swapping places in the World Rugby Men's Rankings.
Samoa face off against Chile in Internationals on Sat 20th September 2025 at America First Field. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 20:35 and is broadcast on RugbyPass TV.

Chile won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
