Samoa’s Touch World Cup campaign gets under way tomorrow as the mixed, men’s and women’s teams look to shine on the sport’s biggest stage in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The open mixed team, based mostly in Australia with local Samoan players sprinkled in has Pool B matches tomorrow against hosts Malaysia at 7:55 pm and Singapore at 10:40 pm Samoan time.

They defeated Germany 18-4 in a friendly hit-out before the tournament, and will look to better their fifth place finish at the last World Cup in 2015.

The open men’s team has many local Samoan players in it, as well as a few based in New Zealand.

They have two Pool A matches against South Africa at 2:40 pm and Australia at 7:00 pm on Tuesday.

The men’s side had friendly wins over the Netherlands 12-0 and Ireland 8-6 in the days before the tournament, and won their final warm-up match with the U.S.A. 5-2 today.

The women’s open team lost their warm-up game against the U.S.A. 1-7 today, following their 0-0 draw with South Africa in another friendly.

The team are all based in Samoa, and their first World Cup games are on Tuesday as well, against Pool A opponents England at 3:30 pm and Fiji at 7:00 pm.

Games throughout the tournament will be livestreamed on the Federation of International Touch YouTube page.
