A new Australian Government funding deal for rugby union in the Pacific is being held up by Samoa's new Prime Minister, La'aulialemalietoa Schmidt, but the question is why?

Fiji and Tonga have already signed off on the package worth $150 million, but La'auli is stalling amid suggestions that he wants a shake-up of the Lakapi Samoa board that would include the removal of the chairman and his arch political rival, Tuilaʻepa Saʻilele Malielegaoi.

The Chief Executive of Tonga Rugby is urging the two men to put their political differences aside for the good of all three Pacific unions, so that his union can put its hands on what he says would be a financial godsend.

Tonga Rugby's CEO says he would be over the moon to secure a share of a proposed $150 million funding deal with Australia, and he's urging Samoa's PM to put internal political differences aside and sign up.

Lemalu Tusiata Pisi told World Rugby while reacting to the draw that France, Japan and USA all have a rich history of rugby and of playing at the World Cup.

But he and Samoa have their own target to work on from now on.

Manu Samoa also have a rich history to emulate at the world cup, having reached the top eight previously on two occasions.

"The knockout stage at the very least, absolutely," he said, referring to make the top eight again.

"And once you get to the knockouts anything can happen, so that's the target."

That work begins now and into the 2026 season, where player selection is going to be critical.

The Samoans were the 24th and last team to qualify for the 2027 event.

Opinion - Secure the best players, get them tested through the different competitions and get everyone to be 101 percent in every aspect of the preparation, writes Iliesa Tora.

Three new teams from the Pacific could join Rugby Australia’s third-tier competition as part of a multi-year, $150 million deal between the Australian government and three countries in the Pacific Islands.

The Roar understands that plans are being hatched for teams from Fiji, Samoa and Tonga join RA’s new Super Rugby AUS competition.

But that will only occur if the proposed $150m deal between the three Pacific countries and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is signed.
