The Guinness Premiership's Samoan players have got together to co-ordinate fundraising across the rugby community in England to help the Samoan Tsunami Appeal.
On September 29, a powerful earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Richter Scale struck in the Pacific Ocean 100 miles south of Samoa and American Samoa. The earthquake triggered a tsunami with waves measuring up to 20 feet slamming into the island nations of Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga. Entire villages have been completely destroyed, 177 people have been confirmed dead and many more are still missing.
Given the small combined population of just 230,000 people, this tragedy will touch everyone living or with relatives in the area.
