Despite letting in five first half tries and four in the second, the Daniel Toole (a teacher at Nowra Anglican College) coached side gave their all at Rugby Park, during a match which marked the first time an international rugby union side had played a game in the Shoalhaven in 30 years.
In the loss, Toole's side was headlined by Nowra Anglican College students Chris Ireland, Ethan Mosely, Kaylam Tytherleigh, Maximillien Goode, Angus Ellem, Connor Tytherleigh, Cooper Jessep, Kian Shepherd, Cooper Thomson, Lachlan Sutton and Aidan Wearne, while also featuring Shoalhaven Rugby Club's Zeb Maddinson, Matthew Stewart, Blake Gurney, Tate Winning, Ky Lucas and Jet Fraser, Bomaderry High School's Louie Chilver, Vincentia High School's Mitch Ireland, Kiama High School's Blake Curls, The Illawarra Grammar School's Sebastian Di Noro, Covenant Christian School's Ben Watkins, Belmont Christian College's Nicholas Benn and Shire Christian School's Turoa Williams.
The Samoan side, which were boarded out to NAC students during their week in the Shoalhaven, will now visit Canberra and Bathurst before their match against the Australian Schoolboys next month.
