Manu Samoa was defeated 29-13 by the USA in their last match of the Pacific Nations Cup on Monday morning.
The winner of the match was guaranteed a place in the extended 24-team Rugby World Cup in Australia. Samoa will now have to wait for the repechage rounds for a chance to qualify for the RWC.
This marks Manu Samoa’s fourth straight loss this year since the international season started.
The USA ran in four tries to Samoa’s one. Samoa’s only try came through centre Melani Nanai in the 64th minute. Christian Lealifano added the extras.
The repechage rounds are yet to be confirmed.
