The match which was to oppose this Saturday against Twickenham the British Barbarians in Samoa was canceled 90 minutes before the kick-off due to several positive cases for Covid-19 in the British ranks.
A huge disappointment for the Samoan players and their captain, the Parisian pillar Paul Alo-Emile who wanted to appear on the lawn to commune by singing their hymn.
This test match was to be the last under the Samoan jersey of the second row of Stade Toulousain Iosefa Tekori, 37 years old.
Nigel Hunt, 38, currently in Saint-Jean-en-Royans, and John Ulugia, 35, were to honor their first selection.
