🏉 Exciting Rugby Updates and Heartfelt Farewells 🌍
England has called up a rising star just in time for the Six Nations! Greg Fisilau of the Exeter Chiefs, renowned for his robust play, has been invited to an exclusive training day with England’s elite squad. 🌟 At only 22, his dynamic performances have caught the eye of head coach Steve Borthwick. While it’s uncertain if he’ll make the Six Nations team, his presence signals big things ahead.

In other news, we pay tribute to Susuga Alesana, former Samoa captain, who sadly passed away at 72. Alesana’s impactful career began in 1979 against Tonga, where he wore the Manu Samoa jersey with great pride. 🎽 Following his rugby endeavours, he dedicated his life to ministry, influencing many young Samoans through faith and sport. Manu Samoa remembers him as a leader on and off the field, a testament to his enduring legacy. Rest in peace, Rev. Alesana, a true icon of the game. 💔
