SCOPA vs SAINTS is the first of its kind in the code of Rugby League in Samoa.
SCOPA vs SAINTS is the first of its kind in the code of Rugby League in Samoa.
The Series is the best of two and will have three games starting this weekend with the second match on 3rd of October, Grand final day.
The School of Origin concept has been done before between Marist and Scopa with other SPORTS codes but not rugby league.. hence, since the come back of SCOPA Cowboys this year and the launch of the First Ever ISLAND OF ORIGINS (this Satruday).
We see it as the ultimate pathway, a very good fit which will create interest with new rugby league properties on the island.
The SCOPA vs SAINTS final match will be the curtain raiser to the first ISLAND of ORIGINS Game on the 4th of November at ACP Marist Stadium. Although we believe there will be eligible players from both teams making the TUMUA Maroons (UPOLU) and the PULE6 Blues (SAVAII), however that is footy and it happens in the State of Origin!
The ISLANDS of ORIGIN squads will be announced this Saturday during the Semi Finals at ACP Marist Stadium.
There is no other time, This is the time!
ORIGINS of the Islands – Embracing History & Heritage, Eager to learn the connectivity of (Upolu & Savaii).
