Unleashing The Beast | Samoa Special

It’s Tuesday in our exclusive access series in camp with Manu Samoa! The bulk of the physical work is getting done at their High Performance Unit in Vaitale, from strength and conditioning in the gym to intense skills practice and team run-throughs on the pitch. We talk with strength and conditioning coach David Edgar and long-time Hooker Motu Matu'u about what work is required to unleash the beast in time for Tonga.

Samoa's got so much potential. Dunno what's wrong with them. They've almost disappeared from 7s, 15s and even league. I'm Fijian, and even though we got differences, it saddens me when an Island team disappears from World Competition. I'm proud of Tonga dominating league, NZ in 15s, and us 7s - but its just not the same when one of us is out and not performing too well. Best wishes to the Samoans, u guys got this. Much Love & Best wishes Uso's.

[@bolotautau685]

Vinaka brother. Samoans are everywhere in sports entertainment.Boxing, Ufc or mma and there's a few uso's in the Allblacks (no.1 team in the world) Samoans are leading from the frontline for pacific islanders in the world 🇼🇸

[@letitburnforever2122]

Fijians got more love for Tongans then Samoans. At least it seems that way to me.

[@stupidman8375]

That's kind of funny because samoans are dominating the fighting world like mark hunt, David tua ,joseph parker, ray sefo and lot of others

[@jasonbourne9819]

The only time samoans seem to thrive is when they are under a different political/economic system. You rarely see a star straight out of the islands. A few of them harnessed their talent overseas after they were poached from an early age.The Samoan political/cultural system is not conducive for talent growth.

[@thegreatjavalemcgee6037]

@@jasonbourne9819 because the samoan government is messed up ... That's why most samoan moved out of samoa cause of the struggle out there.

[@chrisgustafsson8934]

All Pacific island nations have what the other rugby nations don't have! Passion, lack of fear in contact and huge heart. Not to mention a ton of strength and power!

[@niuartm1400]

@@chrisgustafsson8934 yes ..Pacific rugby teams may not have the resources others have but they produce world class players

I'm Tongan and after watching this, tonga needs to watch out because these guys are no joke

only thing killing Tongan rugby is politics

irb only care about the tier 1 nations, they know the potential the island boys have .....

[@thechef5651]

+laftw93 tonga were given money from irb and it disappeared. tonga have a lot of problems to work out instead of blaming the irb

[@laftw93]

The Chef true, but even so they don't really wanna "help" the pacific countries, why do you think the eligibility rules are so tight

[@xTxUxBxBxZx]

alot of our good player have gone for whatever reason and i don't know who the white training Coach is but good on you man! Samoa needs you!

[@naaneejohn2846]

iSavage Gang he's David Edgar from Tokoroa.

[@theephraimite]

For Samoa to unleash the beast, wr must get rid of eligibility rules that hurt Manu Samoa. It also hurts Fiji and Tonga as well. May 10, 2021.

[@pohutukawajay]

Fitness & Stamina is always the main problem in Samoan rugby. After years of coaching, training, and adapting, the Samoan team still can't seem to get it right! They're too focused on vain muscle and power.

[@ironwood5470]

It all boils down to intake.... most of your workout means nothing if you have bad eating habits.

[@leaumaalefosio3245]

This team has only 2months playing together because they come from outside to play for Samoa. That and lack of resources is hurting Samoa

[@bw4500]

2:04 look at this dude's ears

[@faatimahislander6089]

Peter Wallace. Caused from scrummaging, rucks mauls etc. Mostly forwards have them especially the Rugby front row.

[@faatimahislander6089]

[@Spaceman-X]

He could've called them "Warriors" instead of "Beast".

[@takingoutthetrash1512]

Samoan, Tongan, Hawaiian, New Zealanders (Natives) and those Polynesian Islander people are some of the most naturally strong people on Earth... They are the biggest and strongest Asian people out of all the Asian race; YES ASIAN! They have the same DNA as Asian people, which makes them Asian... Thousands of years ago when the sea level was much lower, it was easy for the Polynesians who lived around modern-day Southeast Asia to island-hop, and they reach as far as Hawaii and even South-America

[@mrt445]

Takingout thetrash LOL... There's nothing Asian about them, go to New Zealand and see how much they and everyone else hates Asians.

[@makavelithadon7883]

[@pro-non9887]

Why tf are these guys not dominating Olympic wrestling or any grappling sports (judo,bjj)

[@fahdak774]

samoan new zealanders are more tactical than samoan islanders

[@losomars310]

The reason for that is Samoa doesn't have the physical setting they need for upgrading their workouts physically and mentally. They don't have the proper trainers to push them hard and a nutrienist to show them the right food to eat the amount to consume daily.

[@deeznutzz9864]

agree somewhat

[@faatimahislander6089]

Thats because Samoan NewZealanders learn the NZ rugby structures , set plays , ball play (ball always beats man , draw and pass etc...). I feel sometimes at a cost though , of a Samoans natural raw ferocity. Samoans from the homeland natural footy instincts is to take you on , run straight over you with footy flair to follow . Sucks but its a fine line aye , how to sustain the Samoan strength and adapting the Tier 2 teams Footy logic.
