Samoa face off against Tonga in Internationals on Fri 9th July 2021 at Mt Smart Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 05:30. In South Africa it’s at 06:30 SAST, 16:30 NZST in New Zealand, 14:30 AEST in Australia and 21:30 EST in the US.
Tonga won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 1 places in the rankings with Tonga in position 18 and Samoa in position 19, underlining just how tight this match could be.
The official squads for Samoa vs Tonga will become available around 24- 48 hours before kick-off. Teams can still make changes up to an hour before the match however.
