Samoa storm into 2011 World Cup

Manu Samoa have qualified for the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand after beating Papua New Guinea 73-12 in Port Moresby on Saturday. They will play in Pool D against champions South Africa, Wales and Fiji, with the last remaining place in the group being taken by the winner of Africa’s qualifying final between Tunisia and Namibia in November.

They are the second nation to qualify for the 2011 tournament after Canada booked their place earlier this month.

Samoa won 188-19 on aggregate over the matches against Papua New Guinea, having won 115-7 at Apia Park a week ago.
