The Kangaroos defeated Toa Samoa 38-12 in the opening match of the men's Pacific Championships in Townsville. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow scored a double on debut, while Sualauvi Fa'alogo's try was controversially denied in the 50th minute. Canterbury football boss Phil Gould expressed his displeasure at the decision, calling it "disgraceful." The Kangaroos scored six tries in total, with Payne Haas, Ben Hunt, Cameron Munster, James Tedesco, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, and Kotoni Staggs all getting on the scoresheet.
