Samoa's rugby league team is optimistic about the future despite missing out on silverware again.
After making their second major rugby league final, Samoa may have missed out once more on claiming some silverware, but Toa fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is confident the best is yet to come.
Samoa looked on track to securing an upset as they surged to a 12-0 lead in the first half of the Pacific Championships Cup final against New Zealand, but fell away in the second as the Kiwis claimed their second title.
"Josh Papalii said it well, we can't let that moment - even though it's a big moment, losing here - we can't let it define what we're starting, what we're building here for Toa Samoa," Samoa fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck told NRL.com after the match.
