The No Idea club have a young players this year, with a few experienced players leading the way.
“Every year we develop players from secondary schools, and some of them are from different sports,” Eneliko said.
“I don’t care if they haven’t played rugby before… we just teach them the basic skills of rugby to build up their confidence, and build up their knowledge of rugby, and give them some game time.
“Anyone who wants to play, we welcome them to come and play for us.”
She thanked the Samoa Rugby Union and sponsors like Bluesky for all their help to develop the women’s rugby players in Samoa.
“And I just wanna wish every women in Samoa all the best for International Women’s Day.
