Savaii Samoa

Savaii Samoa is one of the Samoa rugby union two teams for the Pacific Rugby Cup. The other Samoan team is Upolu Samoa. Savaii Samoa and Upolu Samoa are selected from all tournaments that took place in Samoa. Most of the players selected in this two team are local players.

The Savaii Samoa team beat Air Pacific Fiji Warriors 10-5 at Marist Ground in Apia, Samoa to win the inangural Pacific Rugby Cup in 2006.
