Tonga face off against Samoa in Pacific Nations Cup Round 1 on Fri 22nd August 2025 at Teufaiva Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 03:00. In South Africa it’s at 04:00 SAST, 14:00 NZST in New Zealand, 12:00 AEST in Australia and 19:00 EST in the US.
Tonga won the last encounter but Tonga are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 1 places in the rankings with Tonga in position 19 and Samoa in position 20, underlining just how tight this match could be.
