Samoa faces defending OFC Champions Tahiti on Sunday and being the underdogs; Samoa is determined to compete against them and other Oceania nations at this level.

Most of Samoa’s preparations took place in New Zealand, and they are hoping to close the gap between them and other nations in the OFC.

A lot has changed for team Tahiti as they brought only six players from the 2012 squad that lifted the trophy, and went on to participate in the Confederations cup in 2013.

Tahiti Coach Ludovic Grenier said, though young, they are here to play.

Dinnierose Raiko graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Arts (Journalism) from Divine Word University in March 2016. She joined EMTV Sports in April 2016 covering Sports news and contributes content to and at times Co-host EMTV’s premier sports talk show ,'Sports Scene'. Her previous experience extends to a year of general news reporting for NBC West New Britain, NBC Madang and stringing for PNGFM just before joining EMTV. Having done courts, business, health, Education rounds before, the prospect of doing Sports stories became a new challenge. One that Dinnierose wanted to test herself with. She is now an all-rounder sports reporter but takes a greater interest in Cricket. Dinnierose has since found her niche and hopes to produce her own Sports Show someday.
