It's funny how sport can unite a nation. A recap of Toa Samoa's road to the Rugby League Grand Final. How they brought so much pride and joy to a people spread across the globe who still hold on to their heritage and fa'asamoa.

One of the first Samoan rugby league stars to enter what is now the NRL, Olsen Filipaina proudly exclaimed to bewildered reporters. "You don't know what Polynesians are yet ... but you will." 42 years later, Toa Samoa are in the World Cup Grand Final.

    10 months on and still thankful to have experienced and lived through this. Funny how a video that pops out of nowhere can reignite all the same emotions felt then. What a time to be alive. SamoaMoSamoa, UsoAsoUma!
