Samoan International and Moana Pacific player Sama Malolo gets in the mixer to share his incredible journey up to date. Sama made a name for himself during the 2023 World Cup, with only having 1 super rugby cap to his name and coming from the MLR in his rookie-international season he did more than hold his weight against some of the best sides in the world.

Sama's journey was anything but easy leading up to this moment and throughout the episode he's brutally honest and raw about it all. For any athlete that is on the cusp of cracking it or has aspirations to chase the dream, I highly recommend listening to this. As Sama shares his hardships, barriers and lessons learnt that moulded him into the player and man he is today.
