The Apia Park

The Samoan government has invested $30 million on Apia Park for tomorrow’s historic test against the All Blacks.

Most importantly, it will be a lasting legacy of the All Blacks’ presence in the Samoan capital this week.

Its blue seats, big screen TV ‑ which had a test run with the movie Avatar ‑ and new athletics track will be a spectacle long after Richie McCaw and his men have departed.

Meanwhile some of the players who will start for Samoa including Kane Thompson, Alafoti Faosiliva, Jack Lam, captain Ofisa Treviranus, Kahn Fotualii, Tusi Pisi, Alesana Tuilagi, Alofa Alofa and Tim Nanai‑Williams.

Samoa will host the All Blacks at 2pm tomorrow.
