The '''Samoa national rugby union team''' represents [[Samoa]] in men's international [[rugby union]] competitions. They are governed by [[Samoa Rugby Union]] and also known as "Manu Samoa", which is thought to derive from the name of a Samoan warrior.<ref>{{Cite web|title=MANU SAMOA {{!}} Meaning & Definition for UK English {{!}} Lexico.com|url=https://www.lexico.com/definition/manu_samoa|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711123654/https://www.lexico.com/definition/manu_samoa|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 11, 2021|access-date=2021-10-28|website=Lexico Dictionaries {{!}} English|language=en}}</ref>  They perform a traditional Samoan challenge called the [[siva tau]] before each game.

Rugby was [[rugby union in Samoa|introduced to Samoa]] in the 1890s but a [[Samoa Rugby Football Union|governing body]] was not formed for some years, and neither was a club competition organised until after World War I. The first international was played as Western Samoa against Fiji in August 1924. Along with Tonga, these nations would meet regularly and eventually contest competitions such as the [[Pacific Tri-Nations]] – with Western Samoa winning the first of these. From 1924 to 1997 Samoa was known as Western Samoa.

Samoa have been to every [[Rugby World Cup]] since the [[1991 Rugby World Cup|1991 tournament]]. That tournament, along with the [[1995 Rugby World Cup|1995 competition]], saw them make the quarterfinals. Under their new coach, former [[New Zealand national rugby union team|New Zealand]] and Samoan international player [[Michael Jones (rugby union)|Michael Jones]], Samoa competed in the [[2007 Rugby World Cup]]. However, Samoa had a dismal World Cup campaign, winning only one match and finishing fourth in their group. Samoa showed an improved performance at the [[2011 Rugby World Cup]], winning two matches by comfortable margins, and losing close matches to South Africa and Wales.

==History==
The history of Samoan rugby is filled with provably untrue myths and legends. Among them are that the [[Marist Brothers]] brought rugby to Western Samoa in 1924 and [[Samoa Rugby Football Union|The Western Samoa Rugby Football Union]] was formed in 1924. Another is that a large tree was growing in the middle of the Apia Park pitch when Samoa played its first test in 1924. 

The man who brought rugby to Samoa was a New Zealand surveyor, Norman Macdonald, who arrived in the country in 1892. He organised games on an ad-hoc basis, often against crews from visiting ships. Native Samoans were encouraged to play right from the start, and did so. During the German colonial era these games still happened on an irregular basis, but the arrival of New Zealand troops in the early stages of World War I meant rugby wasn't far behind.

The first match for which a score has been preserved was played in 1918 between the Garrison and a Home XV, which the soldiers won 13-6. Club rugby began in 1923 when four clubs - Barbarians, Nomads, Rovers and United - contested the first championship. Matches were played at Pilot Point, and that ground did have a tree inside the playing area; the newspaper reports often mentioned it. By the end of that season developemnt work was beginning at Apia Park; the ground was levelled and a football pitch was prepared, cleared of all weeds and made up to international size.

On 18 August 1924, Western Samoa played its first international against [[Fiji national rugby union team|Fiji]] in the capital [[Apia]], the visitors winning 6–0. The match was played at 7{{nbsp}}am to allow the Samoans time to get to work afterwards and the ship taking the Fijian team to Tonga to make its sailing time. The return match, a month later, was won 9–3 by Samoa.

The Apia Rugby Union was formed in 1927, with eight clubs, and affiliated to the New Zealand Rugby Union that year. The Western Samoa Rugby Union wasn't formed as the governing body until 1958.

Club rugby changed formats in 1936, becoming a mercantile competition with business house teams replacing the village sides. This carried on until 1940, when the game closed down during World War II. It was resumed in 1946 and had another brief hiatus until a full club competition was played in 1953; this has run uninterrupted since.

In 1956 Western Samoa visited both Pacific Island neighbors Fiji and Tonga, but had to wait a further 20 years before a tour of New Zealand took place. The Samoans won one of eight matches on that 1956 tour.

The [[Pacific Tri-Nations|traditional tri-series]] between [[Tonga national rugby union team|Tonga]], [[Fiji national rugby union team|Fiji]] and Western Samoa was established in 1982 with Western Samoa winning the first tournament. [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]] visited Western Samoa and won the test 32–16 at Apia. The tour led to a return visit to Wales which brought Western Samoa out of International limbo, although Western Samoa were not invited to the first [[Rugby World Cup]] [[1987 Rugby World Cup|in 1987]].

The following year a 14-match tour of [[Europe]] took place before a World Cup elimination series in [[Tokyo]], which gave Western Samoa a place in the [[1991 Rugby World Cup]] in [[United Kingdom|Britain]]. They made a huge impact. After sweeping aside Wales 16–13 in [[Cardiff]] and defeating [[Argentina national rugby union team|Argentina]] 35–12, and narrowly losing 3–9 to eventual champions [[Australia national rugby union team|Australia]] in their pool match, Western Samoa, a country with a population of 160,000, found itself in the quarterfinals against [[Scotland national rugby union team|Scotland]] at [[Murrayfield Stadium|Murrayfield]]. The Scots won comfortably 28–6, but the Samoans were clearly the personality team of the tournament.  One Welsh fan ruefully remarked after Wales's defeat, "It's a good job we weren't playing all of Samoa."

Over the next two years, the side had a number of notable wins. The most outstanding achievements were in Sevens where it won the 1993 [[Hong Kong Sevens|Hong Kong]] and 1992 [[Middlesex 7s|Middlesex Sevens]]. The [[1995 Rugby World Cup]] in [[South Africa]] proved that the team belonged in top company. They again reached the quarterfinals after wins over Argentina and [[Italy national rugby union team|Italy]], but were beaten 42–14 by the eventual winners [[South Africa national rugby union team|South Africa]]. After the Cup, Manu Samoa made a 13-match tour of England and Scotland, drawing 15–15 with the Scots and going down 27–9 to [[England national rugby union team|England]].

With the advent of professional rugby in 1995 it was vital for Manu Samoa to develop a new administrative structure. This was made possible with [[Fay Richwhite]] and the Western Samoan Rugby Union joining forces to form Manu Samoa Rugby Limited. [[Fay Richwhite]] invested $5 million from 1995 to 2004 into Samoan rugby.<ref name="RNZI_9519">{{cite news |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=9519 |title=Samoa's Prime Minister praises banker, Sir Michael Fay, for supporting Manu Samoa |date=18 April 2004 |work=[[Radio New Zealand International]] |access-date=7 November 2011}}</ref><ref name=2011_FaySamoaNeedsChange>{{cite web|title=Fay: Samoans need change|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=10762696|publisher=The New Zealand Herald|access-date=8 July 2015}}</ref>
[[File:Japan vs Samoa Rugby Matc 17 June 2012.jpg|thumb|320px|Japan vs Samoa Rugby Match at Chichibunomiya Stadium on 17 June 2012, which was won by Samoa 27–26]]
Samoa emerged from the [[1999 Rugby World Cup|1999 World Cup]] with its honor intact after another shock 38–31 victory over host nation [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]] in the pool stages. They again lost out to Scotland in the quarterfinal play-off.

Manu Samoa qualified for the [[2003 Rugby World Cup|2003 World Cup]] with a 17–16 loss against Fiji, [[Earl Va'a]] missing an injury-time penalty. They recovered to beat Tonga both home and away and avenged that Fijian defeat with a 22–12 win in [[Nadi]]. They ultimately had to settle for second place in the round robin, behind Fiji on points difference, and a place in the tougher of the two Rugby World Cup 2003 pools alongside automatic qualifiers England and South Africa. In one of the games of the tournament, they led eventual champions England for most of the game before losing 35–22.

Samoa qualified for the [[2011 Rugby World Cup|2011 World Cup]] after beating [[Papua New Guinea national rugby union team|Papua New Guinea]] 73–12 in [[Port Moresby]] on 18 July 2009. They won 188–19 on aggregate over two matches against Papua New Guinea, having won 115–7 at [[Apia Park]] the previous week.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/8157392.stm|title=Samoa qualify for 2011 World Cup |date=18 July 2009|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=4 August 2009}}</ref>

==New Zealand connection==
{{more citations needed section|date=November 2016}}
Western Samoa's triumph in the [[1991 Rugby World Cup]] was inspired by their assistant coach [[Bryan Williams (rugby)|Bryan Williams]],{{citation needed|date=November 2016}} who was a New Zealand-born (of Samoan descent) All Black great of the 1970s. The 1991 Samoan World Cup team included many New Zealand born or raised players; the catalyst was Auckland prop [[Peter Fatialofa]], who in 1989, became the first major New Zealand-based player to play for Samoa. By the time of the 1991 World Cup several other New Zealand-born Samoans like [[Pat Lam]], [[Stephen Bachop]], [[Frank Bunce]] and [[Apollo Perelini]] had joined him. New Zealand born players with Samoan parentage have played for Samoa, such as [[Earl Va'a]], [[Pat Lam]] and [[Lome Fa'atau]].

The rugby relationship that exists between New Zealand and Samoa is a complex one. Close ties exist between the two countries, these bonds first being formed with the start of mass Polynesian migration to New Zealand in the latter half of the twentieth century. At the [[2007 Rugby World Cup|2007 World Cup]], there were 14 New Zealand-born players in the Samoan squad.<ref name="BornAbroad">{{cite web|url=http://worldcup.planet-rugby.com/Story/0,21043,13089_2760268,00.html |title=All those born abroad |publisher=Planet Rugby |access-date=2 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011082114/http://worldcup.planet-rugby.com/Story/0,21043,13089_2760268,00.html |archive-date=11 October 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The only team with more foreign born players in their squad was Italy who had 15.<ref name="BornAbroad"/>

==Strips==
{{Commons|Samoa national rugby union team kits}}
Manu Samoa play in blue and white uniforms, with the home strip consisting of blue jerseys, white shorts and blue socks and the away kit being with the colours reversed. Since 2007, the flag of Samoa has been featured on the left sleeve and [[pe'a]]-like patterns were incorporated into the jerseys. Sponsored logos appear on jerseys for matches other than the [[Rugby World Cup]], where branding, except for equipment manufacturers, is not allowed.
