[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 741902, member: 39190"] Well, I wouldn't know much about American Samoa and polynesians living in the USA in general but a population of 550 000 which one would assume has gotten some measure of exposure to rugby is double that of Samoa. The thing though is are the coaching and structures in place there for the ~10 to 18 year olds? I mean, why havn't we seen more Samu Manoa's from the USA? Aren't they rather Americanised and rather atraacted to the NFL? It'll only help you so much in the pro era of rugby having a large population, vast resources and world leading infrastructure if they aren't rugby-specific. [/QUOTE]
