Best World Cup Performance:
Made the world cup Quarter - Finalist in 1991 and 1995.
SAMOAN PEDIGREE:
Samoa were not even invited to play in this years World Cup.
Samoa have featured in since. In 1991 they made the biggest upset in Rugby World Cup history 13-16 and they qualified and made it to the Quarter - Finals. Repeated it in the next two World Cups but had a rough time winning games as they always found themselves in the same pool as England and South Africa in the last two World Cups.
STAR PLAYER:
Alesana Tuilagi:
At a starting weight of 118kg has a build of foward but has the speed of a fullback this Samoan wrecking - ball is a forced to be reckoned with on the field, scoring 17 tries in 27 games and took his team the Tigers to the Premiership Final this season. Since joining the Samoan team in 2002 and has gone on to play 21 tests and nine tries and countinuing.
