Revision as of 04:57, 9 July 2011
The 2011 Pacific Nations Cup is a rugby union tournament held between the four national sides on the Pacific Rim: Fiji, Japan, Samoa and Tonga.
Samoa is the reigning champion after they defeated Fiji in the 2010 competition at Apia Park. This year the tournament will begin on on July 2 and ends on July 13, 2011 and most of the matches will be hosted by Fiji. Only the match between Asian 5 Nations champion, Japan and Samoa will be played at Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium in Japan.
The tournament was moved to Fiji from Japan after the devastating March, 2011 Japan Tsunami.
The tournament is a round-robin where each team plays all of the other teams once. There are four points for a win, two for a draw and none for a defeat. There are also bonus points offered with one bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match and one bonus point for losing by 7 points or less.
