Fetu Samoa women's rugby league team secures World Cup spot after undefeated season

Fetu Samoa's women's rugby league team, led by coach Jamie Soward, has completed an undefeated season, securing a spot in the 2025 Women's Rugby League World Cup and promotion to the Pacific Championship Cup. Soward emphasizes that their journey is just beginning. Soward aims to build a strong future for Samoan women in rugby, focusing on cultural connections and youth development. He plans to introduce programs in schools to support young players and foster talent from an early age. The team's average age is 18, making them one of the youngest in the league. Competing against established teams like New Zealand and Australia will provide valuable experience and inspire future generations of Samoan athletes.
