American Samoa is receiving assistance from the International Rugby Board to further develop players as the territory's national team, Talavalu, prepares for next year's Hong Kong Sevens.
The IRB has offered the American Samoa Rugby Union seven slots for selected players to train and learn more about rugby in Fiji.
ASRU board member, Peseta Sa Mavaega, told Samoa News that the IRB will pay for all expenses such as room and board, as well as travel.
He says these types of training offered by IRB will help players develop skills and learn more about the sports of rugby, which has undergone major development in American Samoa in the last three years.
ASRU plans to select it's national team for Hong Kong in February next year.
