Residents of a home for the aged in Samoa broke out in applause when introduced to the new Manu Samoa 7s coach last Friday.

Viliamu Punivalu was a member of a Samoa Rugby Union (SFU) delegation who took gifts from Manu Samoa players to residents of Mapuifagalele Home for the Aged.

Opened in 1975, Mapuifagalele Home for the Aged is run by Little Sisters of the Poor at Vailele, a village located on the central north coast of Upolu Island – a drive of less than 10 minutes east of the capital, Apia.
