The Golden team

Liueli Lafoe Fusimalohi is all go in training today in Apia, his eyes are looking intense and his words set the scene that his boys are ready for the battle on Friday. "We were dissapointed with our performance last week & we can't wait for the final to start", "it has been a long week in Samoa waiting for this and we are ready." Apia is in light drizzle this afternoon, the ground is soft and the temperature is a mild 24 degrees which looks set to hot up when the boys run out on the field Friday afternoon.
