Samoa are three conceded points away from breaking the 500 point barrier in the Pacific Nations Cup. The Samoans have conceded 497 points in PNC matches but Fiji, Tonga and Japan have all seen more points scored against them.

LEMI scored his 7th international try for his country against Japan – each try coming in a Pacific Nations Cup match. Fiji’s side include seven players who made their debut in last Tuesday’s Pacific Nations Cup Round 1 match against Japan while Samoa also include seven of their eight debutants from last weekend’s clash against Tonga. Fiji field a total of 109 caps compared to Samoa’s 118.

Form guide
• •
Fiji bounced back from their disappointing Rugby World Cup 2011 campaign with a superb 25-19 victory over PNC 2011 champions Japan last Tuesday. Samoa also fared well, seeing off a committed Tonga side 20-18 later that evening. Samoa’s 2011 form was impressive, losing narrowly to South Africa and Wales and beating Fiji 27-7 in the Rugby World Cup but the year will be best remembered for their 32-23 victory over Australia in Sydney last July.

Fiji bounced back from their disappointing Rugby World Cup 2011 campaign with a superb 25-19 victory over PNC 2011 champions Japan last Tuesday. Samoa also fared well, seeing off a committed Tonga side 20-18 later that evening. Samoa’s 2011 form was impressive, losing narrowly to South Africa and Wales and beating Fiji 27-7 in the Rugby World Cup but the year will be best remembered for their 32-23 victory over Australia in Sydney last July.
