Prime Minister John Key is off on a five-day three-nation tour of the Pacific. He leaves on Sunday on a trip that takes in Samoas independence celebrations and stops in Tonga and Niue. Forty people, including MPs, Pacific leaders and representatives from non-governmental organisations are travelling with him. The mission reflects the close relationship we have with our Pacific neighbours and the high regard New Zealand places on these relationships, says Mr Key. While in Samoa, Mr Key will visit regions affected by the 2009 tsunami and Cyclone Evan in 2012. New Zealand has contributed around $22 million in response to these disasters. TV3s Campbell Live programme has been campaigning for the All Blacks to play in Samoa, arguing theyve never played there. The Dominion Post waded in on the debate with an editorial on Saturday saying the All Blacks should play a test in Samoa. The small Pacific nation has an almost freakish and consistent ability to produce world-class players, not just for Samoa and New Zealand, but for many other nations, too. It is time for some acknowledgement of what Samoa has offered to the sport. The two rugby-mad nations have played each other five times, the last being six years ago. All of those games have been in New Zealand. NZN © 2014 New Zealand
