There was a strong game between the Samoan and Tongan teams as always, with both sides sporting off their champion Rugby talents. Samoa came out on top though with a spectacular win 20-18 for the opening games of the Pacific Nations Cup. Champion team Fiji also beat the great Japan team as well in the opening matches.
Pacific players and Pacific Rugby Clubs from the Moana, who have in the last ten years taken Rugby more seriously, have proven their weight in new world Rugby.
In 2000-2008 analyst reports, and online news articles were published online and offline, of the new age of Pacific - Asia Pacific players.
There has never been such a fuss over new recruits, with most who are invested in Rugby, saying that the media controversy is a great thing, and that this is what Rugby really needed to hit more international markets.
Before the last ten years when it was mostly European players, there was no debate though with weight divisions, in fact, the way Rugby worked before the Samoans and other Polynesians came, was that the biggest and most talented played, because well, "This is Rugby".
Even younger Junior Rugby leagues have to now decide on weight divisions, to help even out the Polynesian stampedes of super rugby talents.
In a campaign for the new Rugby divisions, it was promoted that the new standards were for "safety" reasons, when according to Rugby coaches, playing against stronger opponents is what tones Rugby skills.
