“As it was last week, the pride and the passion very evident on the faces of the Samoans and also the Kiwis, tears streaming down the face of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad,” Smith said in commentary. The Kiwis then followed suit, with Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Leniu starring each other down long after the haka finished.October 21, 2023How good is it seeing two very proud nations play today⦠the emotions in all those players singing their national anthem is just ð¥ºð¥ºð¥ºð¥ºLeniu and Asofa-Solomona couldn't have got any closer.
