‘I’m so proud’: How Samoa inspired The Rock
Finally, The Rock has come to social media to send out his best wishes to Samoa ahead of the biggest sporting event in the tiny nation’s history.
Samoa has shocked the rugby league world to qualify for the World Cup final just a month after they were written off by everyone following an embarrassing 60-6 loss to England in their opening game.
But they haven’t lost since and have eliminated rivals Tonga and then got revenge on England in the semi-final to book a date with Australia who are looking for a third World Cup title in a row.
The support Samoa has received this week has been incredible, with fans and even some players reaching out to WWE legend and Hollywood megastar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to show them some love.
