Take it as red: Tonga sneak past Samoa in World Cup epic
SYDNEY, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (NRL) —Tonga have prevailed 20-18 over Samoa in an epic World Cup contest in front of a record crowd of 29,411 at CommBank Stadium.
Both teams now head towards the semi-finals on the back of a pulsating contest that ebbed and flowed for the entire 80 minutes.
After the emotion of the pre-game war cries had settled it was Tonga who looked to have grabbed first points in the 13th minute when Dallin Watene-Zelezniak launched himself for the corner but replays showed his foot had grazed the sideline.
Four minutes later Tonga went close again when Jojo Fifita had a chance in the left-hand corner but desperate defence from Stephen Crichton denied him.
Come the 24th minute and Fifita returned serve when he jammed in and forced an error from Crichton just as the Samoa centre looked certain to score.
After 27 pulsating minutes of action it was Rob Toia who broke the deadlock with a stunning solo try from 45 metres out.
The Tonga centre was put into space by a superb flick pass from Haumole Olakau’atu and then displayed his speed and swerve to leave Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Sua Fa’alogo in his wake. With Isaiya Katoa’s conversion Tonga had a 6-0 lead.
A penalty goal to Katoa in the 36th minute extended Tonga’s lead to 8-0 before Samoa hit back through Brian To’o courtesy of a piece of Crichton brilliance.
The try came after Jarome Luai launched a bomb which was tapped back by Tabuai-Fidow to Crichton and the champion centre got a miraculous flick pass away to To’o despite having three defenders hanging off him.
Ahead 8-4 at the break Tonga extended their lead in the 46th minute when Katoa and Tui Lolohea combined on the left edge with the five-eighth delivering a pinpoint long ball for Fifita to power into the corner. The conversion from Katoa made it 14-4.
Samoa struck back in the 52nd minute when To’o had a second try from another freakish pass this time from Chanel Harris-Tavita, who missed the conversion and grabbed at his hamstring after the kick and left the field immediately.
Four minutes later Samoa looked certain to score again but Benaiah Ioelu was somehow denied by Lehi Hopoate and Haumole Olakau’atu right on the goal line as they hurled themselves at the hooker and forced the ball loose.
With 17 minutes to play Samoa had their third try when Luai snuck down a short side and picked up Izack Tago who shifted it quickly to Fa’alogo who delivered the final pass for Tabuai-Fidow to race away and score. Ronald Volkman was unable to land the extras so Tonga retained the lead at 14-12.
All the momentum was now with Samoa and supersub Volkman busted through a couple of tackles to score after some brilliant hands from big men Junior Paulo and Spencer Leniu.
At 18-14 to Samoa the game had another twist when Addin Fonua-Blake took a pass one off the ruck and stampeded through Leniu and Connelly Lemuelu to tie it up and with Katoa’s conversion the men in red had the lead back at 20-18.
With two minutes to play Samoa launched a raid on the left edge and Fa’alogo went agonisingly close but his foot grazed the sideline.
In the final minute Samoa again had a shot at stealing the win when Tabuai-Fidow flew high to bring down a bomb but his pass to Fa’alogo travelled forward and Tonga hung on for an emotional victory.
The red army now move on to a semi-final against New Zealand in Newcastle on Friday night while Samoa will meet Australia in Sydney on Saturday….PACNEWS

Blistering Bulikula blast into semis at first World Cup
SYDNEY, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (NRL)—Fiji Bulikula have stormed into the semi-finals at their first ever World Cup with a stunning 54-6 win over France at Cbus Super Stadium.
The 50-6 victory means Bulikula will face world champions Australia at Allianz Stadium next Sunday in what will be an emotional occasion for Sereana Naitokatoka and her team.
Fiji got off to a flyer with Tahlia Marshall crossing in the fourth minute before Maria Paseka grabbed the second try in the 20th minute in her return from a leg injury.
Interchange forward Aliti Namoce and star playmaker Losana Lutu then crossed in the space of three minutes as the Bulikula took full control although France looked unlucky to be denied a try when winger Haoua Kessely was ruled to have gone into touch when she touched down in the corner in the 23rd minute.
Trailing 20-0 at the break France came out firing in the second term and they had their second try of the tournament in the 39th minute when Fanny Ramos exploded out of dummy half and picked up Stecy Bessiere in support for a try under the sticks.
Fiji had a quick answer through Cassie Staples to take the scoreline out to 24-6 as they closed in on their historic semi-final berth.
Come the 46th minute and Marshall had her fifth try of the tournament after a sweep to the left with Taina Naividi delivering the final pass. The conversion from Luisa Yaranamua made it 32-6.
Powerhouse forwards Latisha Smythe and Leilani Ahsam then grabbed tries in quick succession as the power and pace of the Bulikula proved too much for a brave France outfit.
A hard-charging Lorren Ieli put the finishing touches on a famous win when she left four defenders in her wake to cross in the 68th minute.
Among a host of stars for Fiji it was fullback Staples with 135 run metres and front-rower Smythe (17 runs for 157m) who showed the way, although a leg injury to Paseka in the second half may be of some concern to the camp.
Having pushed the Kiwi Ferns to the absolute limit in an 18-12 loss in week one in Newcastle, the Bulikula will fancy their chances of slaying the giants in Sydney this weekend…PACNEWS

Fetu young guns are ‘born for these moments’: Nu’uausala
SYDNEY, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (NRL)–A fountain of youth has helped propel Fetu Samoa to its first World Cup semi-finals in their third attempt at the premier international women’s tournament.
Eight players from the 17 that enjoyed a 24-6 victory over England in Wollongong are aged 22 years – six of them are 20 or younger.
That win sent Samoa to a semi-final showdown with the Kiwi Ferns next Saturday in Newcastle.
According to ‘older’ heads in the Samoan team, like 31-year-old co-captain and prop Annetta Nu’uausala, and 33-year-old halfback Pauline Piliae-Rasable, the youthful freedom of expression among the younger players has been the elixir.
“This year we’ve got a lot more young girls who have joined our squad,” Nu’uausala said.
“And with these young girls comes a lot of maturity so it’s been easy for us to build that connection with them on and off the field.
“Honestly it comes down to the youth and maturity they’ve brought to the team. They keep us on our toes and are always willing to learn.
“That’s what Freedom (Crichton Ropati) has shown us against England and in the past two games as well.”
It is generating quite a few points most definitely.
Crichton Ropati, 18, scored a hat-trick on the right wing against England, while left-side winger Mercedez Taulelei-Siala, 20, has three tries from the wins over Wales and England, alongside 19-year-old centre Tyra Ekepati, who also has three.
Nu’uausala said facing the experienced New Zealand would not intimidate these skilful new Samoan players.
“Not at all. They were born for moments like this,” she said.
“There’s a reason they’re performing the way they are. They love the pressure – they see that as a privilege.”
Piliae-Rasabale and Nu’uausala are two of six players who were in the Samoan side at the 2025 Pacific Championships, which close a lost match with the Ferns 22-20.
“Obviously there’s a few new faces in our campaign and among the leadership as well,” Piliae-Rasabale told NRL.com when speaking of the differences between 2025 and 2026.
“But anyone who puts this blue jersey on is the next one up. They will go out on the field and do their job.
“It’s expected of us no matter who we play.
“The young girls know no fear and are taking every opportunity with both hands. They’re making the most of this time together and we’ve very proud of them.”
It has been 18 years since Samoa last qualified for the World Cup and now they are in their first semi-final after falling short in 2003 and 2008.
Do the young players realise the significance?
“Well we won’t let them think about it too much,” Piliae-Rasabale said.
“We want them to enjoy the fun of playing and being successful – we want them taking that joy into next week.”
One of the youthful brigade is Ekepati, who has played just 13 NRLW games for St George Illawarra before making her Fetu Samoan debut this year.
“It feels amazing just to do this for the people we love the most and everyone that’s behind us,” she told NRL.com.
“It’s not common girls get that support but it’s in our blood, our culture, our families and they’ve kept turning up for us. That means a lot to us and drives us to keep going.” …PACNEWS

Kiwis run riot as two sent off on Gold Coast
GOLDCOAST, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (NRL)—New Zealand winger Ronaldo Mulitalo and Fiji halfback Brandon Wakeham were sent from the field at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday as the Kiwis tuned up for the semi-finals with a 78-0 smashing of the Bati.
With the Kiwis cruising at 48-0 the match exploded in the 52nd minute when Mulitalo shot in off his wing and made high contact with Ronald Philitoga, who was ruled out of the rest of the game.
Wakeham came in to remonstrate with Mulitalo and threw a punch, leading to him being marched.
With both sides down to 12 men the Kiwis ran in five more tries, with gun centre Casey McLean bagging four to take his record to 15 tries in seven Tests.
While Mulitalo faces a nervous wait for Sunday’s judiciary charges his team-mates will revel in the comprehensive nature of the victory that sends an ominous warning to their World Cup rivals.
Chasing their first World Cup title since 2008, the Kiwis’ 13-try romp was started and finished by Keano Kini, who racked up 260 run metres and seven tackle breaks.
The clash at Cbus Super Stadium was a shootout for a semi-final berth but in the end the Bati simply had no answers as the loss of Api Koroisau (jaw) and Semi Valemei (head knock) in the first half left them rattled.
By the time the half-time siren sounded the Kiwis had racked up a 48-0 lead as Kini, McLean and Mulitalo broke tackles at will and Naufahu Whyte continued to enhance his reputation as one of the game’s elite big men.
Skipper James Fisher-Harris got in on the action with his first Test try since the 2023 Pacific Championships against Samoa, trailing through to pounce on the ball after Mulitalo had tapped back a Jahrome Hughes bomb.
Hughes finished the day with three try assists as he tuned up for the knockout stage of the tournament where the Kiwis are a chance of welcoming back superstar Kalyn Ponga from a broken arm.
Ponga suffered the injury in the tournament opener against Australia on 15 October and most expected he was done for the campaign but the Knights No.1 has worked tirelessly on his rehab and looms as a real X-factor for the Kiwis this week. …PACNEWS

Kangaroos enjoy semi-final tune-up with big win over Cook Islands
SYDNEY, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (NRL)—The Kangaroos have enjoyed the perfect semi-final tuneup with a comprehensive victory over Cook Islands in Townsville on Saturday night.
Australia ran in 12 tries to one to claim a 66-6 victory in front of 19,172 fans at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
Back-rower Jacob Preston scored a try and showed why he’s one of the best ball-running backrowers in the game, while Jack Bostock and Tom Trbojevic both scored hat-tricks and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui crossed for a double.
Ethan Strange was in the thick of the action in his Kangaroos debut and played lock after coming off the bench early in the second half.
The triumph completes an undefeated group phase for the Kangaroos and was a significant improvement on last week’s scratchy performance against Fiji.
Australia’s focus will now turn to a sudden-death semi-final at Allianz Stadium ON Sunday night.
After two below-par performances to start their tournament Australia needed to find their rhythm in Townsville.
While they were not perfect against a spirited Cook Islands, the Kangaroos flexed their muscle to assert their status as World Cup favourites.
Bostock opened the scoring in just the third minute before the Aitu hit back and took the lead after Rua Ngatikaura burrowed over from dummy half.
Cook Islands threatened to score a second but the Australian defence held firm and the points started flowing soon after.
Four tries in 13 minutes saw the Kangaroos turn a 6-4 deficit into a 28-6 half-time lead.
Bostock crossed for his second soon after the break, triggering an avalanche of second half points.
Trbojevic scored his second, before Preston finished off a Cam Munster break and Fa’asuamaleaui produced a barnstorming solo try to bring up the half century.
The Kangaroos crossed for three more tries to close out the game while denying the Aitu’s late bid for a try of their own. …PACNEWS

Sloppy win leaves England needing a miracle against PNG Kumuls
SYDNEY, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (NRL)—England burst out of the blocks and then stopped to a walk in a 34-12 win over the Kumuls on Friday night that effectively ends the World Cup campaign for both sides.
Starting the night at WIN Stadium needing to overturn a 68-point differential with Samoa, George Williams’ men ran in four tries in the first 21 minutes through Matty Ashton, AJ Brimson, Dom Young and Harry Smith to give their fans hope.
The remainder of the first half proved tough going for England as they racked up nine errors and could only find two more points through a Hugo Savala penalty goal in the 40th minute.
Ahead 24-0 at the break and chasing quick points England conceded a try to Dudley Dotoi in the 45th minute when the prolific winger out-jumped Young and crashed over despite a number of defenders hanging off him.
The Kumuls then made it a double strike when livewire five-eighth Gairo Voro exploded through a hole from 10m out and with Rhyse Martin’s conversion the score was back to 24-12.
A try to Morgan Knowles in the 69th minute stretched England’s margin to 18 points before Mikey Lewis scooted into the left-hand corner in the dying seconds to make the final score 34-12.
On a disappointing night for England it was winger Matty Ashton (161 run metres and five tackle breaks) and centre Herbie Farnworth (13 tackle breaks) who looked the most dangerous but a whopping 20 errors gave them little chance of racking up the big score they needed.
Kumuls legend Martin took his final bow on the international stage with 130 run metres and 37 tackles while Dudley Dotoi busted seven tackles and crossed for a try.
Up front it was Luca Moretti leading the way with a tireless 80-minute performance in the middle, racking up 119 run metres and 28 tackles.
The final margin of 22 points means England need Tonga to beat Samoa by 47 points in Sunday’s blockbuster at CommBank Stadium to progress to the semi-finals – a scenario that is simply unimaginable…PACNEWS

‘Happiest ever’: Cook Islands changed life of KL Iro
RAROTONGA, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (AAP)—Cook Islands captain KL Iro says playing for his Pacific nation changed his career and gave him the happiest moment of his life.
The 26-year-old, now one of the NRL’s best centres with Cronulla, had played just one NRL match for the Sharks before the 2022 World Cup where he shone in a win over Wales and tough loss to Papua New Guinea.
Four years later he has clocked up 61 matches for the Sharks and is at the top of his game ahead of Saturday night’s showdown with Australia in Townsville.
“After the last World Cup I really kicked on after playing for the Cook Islands,” he told AAP.
“I was at the Sharks at the time but I wasn’t playing NRL. I was just running around in the NSW Cup for Newtown.
“Then at the World Cup I played well and it all happened for me. That is what we want for the young boys at this World Cup where we just had four debutants.”
Iro has already got his wish with winger Esom Ioka, who scored three tries against New Zealand last week before tearing his calf, set to join the Brisbane Broncos on a train and trial deal next year.
“Esom is a humble person with good character and that is what people look at firstly,” he said.
“On the field he is just a weapon and gets after the game as you saw with his three tries.
“He is ready for NRL and I hope he gets a crack.”
Cook Islands coach Karmichael Hunt said it was “a privilege” to coach Iro who could have pledged his loyalties elsewhere.
‘There was talk of KL being in the Kiwis team a couple of years ago and it was a big decision for him to pull himself out of that selection process,” Hunt told AAP.
“He said that he wanted to captain our little nation instead. He is doing what the greats for Tonga have done like JT (Jason Taumalolo).
“KL is a true warrior who has put his flag in the ground and there are so many more we hope will follow in his footsteps.”
Last week the Aitu were ahead of New Zealand 16-12 in Christchurch before fading to lose 82-16.
When Iro looked up at the crowd and saw the Cook Islands fans delirious at the team’s heroic start to the match he had an inner glow.
“I said after the game that it was the happiest I have ever been in my life,” he said.
“It was that actual moment when we went ahead of the Kiwis. I thought, ‘far out, we can do this’. Imagine if we had gone on to win, it would have been crazy.”
Iro is the son of Kevin Iro and the nephew of Tony Iro, both New Zealand greats. Kevin did represent Cook Islands also at Test level while Tony coached the Kukis from 2017 until 2023.
KL will make history when he leads the side against the Kangaroos.
“This is the first time we have played Australia,” Iro said.
“The population of Australia is 28 million and in Cook Islands we have less than 18,000.
‘For a little country like ours to be playing Australia is pretty special and I hold that high in my heart. It makes me really proud,” he said…PACNEWS

PNG Athletes leave for youth Olympics
PORT MORESBY, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (THE NATIOMNAL)—Swimmer Roxanne Kirarock (15) and sprinter Kabake Lansana (17), left Port Moresby on Wednesday to represent Papua New Guinea at this year’s Dakar Youth Olympic Games in Senegal.
The two athletes are part of a five-member Team PNG delegation to the games, slated for 31 OCT – 13 November 3. They will compete in swimming and athletics.
PNG Olympic Committee (PNGOC) president Emma Waiwai wished the team well, saying: “Love your sport, play it with joy and let the nerves turn into energy.”
The delegation is led by former Olympian and Chef de Mission, Dame Iammo Launa.
“I am honoured to lead our young team to the Youth Games in Dakar. I am proud to guide this team,” she said.
The Games will give the young athletes international competition experience, an opportunity to build friendships and experience different cultures.
PNGOC sees Dakar as an opportunity to support the athletes’ continued development and build experience for future international competition, including the Pacific Games, Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games.
With the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games taking place in the region, Dakar provides valuable experience on a longer sporting journey.
Dakar 2026 will be the fourth Summer Youth Olympic Games and the first Olympic sporting event ever held in Africa. Originally scheduled for 2022, the Games were postponed to 2026 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the operational challenges after the Tokyo 2020 Olympics postponement.
At least 2,700 athletes aged 15-18 from 200 countries are expected to compete in 25 sports with 153 medal events. …PACNEWS

Tahiti capture record fifth OFC Beach Soccer Men’s Nations Cup title
PAPE’ETE, 02 NOVEMBER 2026 (OFC)—Tahiti have won a record fifth OFC Beach Soccer Men’s Nations Cup crown, defeating the Solomon Islands 4-3 on home sands at Aorai Tini Hau in Pirae.
Rainui Tze-Yu scored the winner in the 34th minute as the Tiki Toa edged a seven-goal thriller against the Bilikili, and also secured qualification for their ninth FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2027.
Having entered the tournament tied on four continental titles apiece, Tahiti can now lay claim to being Oceania’s most successful beach soccer national team, securing their fourth consecutive title and a fifth final victory over the Solomon Islands.
The most experienced member of the Solomon Islands squad, Max Fa’ari, opened the scoring with a header from a well-worked corner routine six minutes into the contest, but it would be the only time the Bilikili led in the match.
Tahiti’s player/coach Raimana Li Fung Kuee pulled the Tiki Toa level almost immediately, rifling a left-footed volley into the roof of the net from the restart for his first goal of the tournament.
Two further goals early in the second period saw the hosts establish a two-goal advantage, goalkeeper Teave Teamotuitau scoring from a long-range free kick before Ro’onui Tinirauarii converted a corner delivery at the back post.
The Solomon Islands dug deep to fight their way back into contention, responding with two goals of their own through Ramsy Melo and Roy Mafane to level the contest at 3-3 heading into the final period.
Player of the match James Do’oro pulled off several outstanding saves to keep the Solomon Islands hanging on, but with the home crowd behind them, Tahiti finally struck the decisive blow in the 34th minute, just two minutes from the end of normal time.
Rainui Tze-Yu was the hero, heading the ball past Do’oro to spark wild celebrations among the home crowd in Pirae.
The final whistle brought emotional scenes as Tahiti celebrated a historic fifth continental crown, made all the more special by lifting the trophy on home sands.
Tahiti: 4 (Raimana LI FUNG KUEE 6’, Teave TEAMOTUAITAU 14’, Ro’onui TINIRAUARII 17’, Rainui TZE-YU 34’)
Solomon Islands: 3 (Max FA’ARI 6’, Ramsy MELO 18’, Roy MAFANE 21’)
Earlier in the day, New Caledonia finished third with a 4-3 victory over Vanuatu.
A brace from player of the match Stéphan Pautre led them to victory as New Caledonia matched the third-place finish from their previous appearance in 2019.
After beating Vanuatu 7-5 in a closely fought affair during the group stage just five days earlier, the New Caledonians were again forced to work hard for victory here, as both nations concluded their campaigns.
The first of Pautre’s two goals in the sixth minute saw New Caledonia establish an early two-goal lead after Ménié Gope-Iwate’s fourth minute penalty. It looked as if they may cruise to the finish line, but an instant response from Sandy Mesau and an equaliser from Batis Alick levelled the contest for Vanuatu at two goals apiece after 19 minutes in the first match of the final matchday.
Makaluë Xowi restored New Caledonia’s advantage moments before the second break, before Pautre completed his brace in the 32nd minute to extend the lead to two goals.
Yassin Berukilukilu’s strike for Vanuatu with two seconds left on the clock in the third period proved too little, too late to force another comeback.
New Caledonia: 4 (Ménié GOPE-IWATE (P) 4’, Stéphan PAUTRE 6’, 32’, Makaluë XOWI 24’)
Vanuatu: 3 (Sandy MESAU 6’, Batis ALICK 19’, Yassin BERUKILUKILU 36’)…PACNEWS
