Ramona Afamasaga, general manager The Manu Samoa Sevens Boys were informed by Su'a Pale Gilchrist.

“The entire Return to Paradise family gives all support and will be there with them throughout their journey towards Oceania 7s Tournament and beyond." 

“Because of the impacts of the Global Pandemic, we just could not afford to do this on our own. As a result, I confirm our full-time support for the boys anyway they can. We are aware that Lakapi Samoa is struggling financially in the wake of Covid-19.”

The incredible assistance and support from some of the business community who reached and were able to make it feasible for the Manu Samoa 7s to hold their scheduled boot camp, which really bolstered the team’s confidence.
