[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 568773, member: 57076"] I agree they play their own style of course, running game, will make it a principle to keep the ball in hand and not kick even in pressure situations not far from their own 22...(Pac Islanders do, esp. Sam) - but I mean in terms of competition, i.e. where they play all year long; they're in the midst of HCups n Top 14 n Premiership mostly, with some in SR.. I mean they learn the ropes n tricks n technical aspects n gameplan/strategies there, I'm thinking in the scrum notably. I remember the Pac. Islander tour around 2008 (?) where they got beaten badly where they went, and their scrum got beaten badly in France. Past November, they held their own nicely in Paris (Samoa). If they didn't have all their players abroad, they'd be good, with sheer athleticism and Rugby ability; but they'd probably lack in defensive schemes, scrum technique, kicking (which STILL is a problem somehow for them typically...) among other aspects.
