We’re excited to announce a new three-season partnership between Pillar Sport and Lakapi Samoa, the main organization for rugby in Samoa, leading up to the next Rugby World Cup in Australia—a significant time for the Union. Lakapi Samoa is dedicated to growing rugby across all levels in Samoa, from grassroots to elite teams. As the organization behind Samoa’s national teams—including Manu Samoa (the men’s team) and Manusina (the women’s team)—Lakapi Samoa plays a vital role in building and promoting the sport across the islands.
Recently, Manu Samoa showcased their skill and determination in the 2024 Pacific Nations Cup, securing an impressive last-minute 18-13 victory over the USA in September, which earned them a strong third-place finish in the Pacific pool standings. Looking forward, Manu Samoa remains focused on further Pacific Nations Cup matches, with hopes of reaching the tournament’s semifinals and competing for the title.
Manusina, Samoa’s women’s rugby team, has been competing fiercely in the Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship, recently achieving a decisive 29-7 victory over Tonga. This tournament carries significant weight, as it doubles as a qualifying event for the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup in England. Manusina’s strong form highlights their determination to secure a spot and proudly represent the Pacific region on the world stage.
Known for their passion, strength, and competitive spirit, Samoan rugby players have made a name for themselves on the international stage, contributing to the country’s reputation as a rugby powerhouse in the Pacific. Through community programs, youth development, and international competitions, Lakapi Samoa continues to foster the sport’s growth and inspire future generations of Samoan athletes.
“We are delighted to join forces with Pillar Sports for the next three years. This collaboration represents a pivotal part of our High Performance program, giving our elite players the very best products to perform. This partnership is one of the most important for the welfare and performance of our athletes, and we are so pleased to be aligning with Pillar Sports. We appreciate the support Pillar Sport have given us and look forward to this journey.” – Faleomavaega Vincent Fepuleai, Chief Executive Officer, Lakapi Samoa
“It is a real privilege for us to be the Medical Supplies and Tape sponsor for the Lakapi Samoa National Teams, for the next three years, where they will be playing International Test Matches all around the world. The next few years promises to be a strong test building nicely into the next Rugby World Cup, and we are looking to support all the Samoa National Teams in the coming years.” – Brendan Ireland, Chief Executive Officer, Pillar Sport
