This weekend the annual Ohana Cup Rugby League Festival, a highlight on the international rugby league calendar, will be held at the popular Aloha Stadium in Hawaii and for the first time fans will be able to watch every pass, kick and tackle live and exclusive on Sportsta TV.
Currently in its third year, the 2016 Ohana Cup will feature two all-star Test matches. Rugby powerhouse Fiji will take on Canada, before island rivals, Tonga play Samoa. Alongside these Test matches, there will also be a match between the NSW police side and the local Hawaiian Chiefs.
The spectacular two-day event, will begin on Friday the August 19, commencing with a pre-game concert, by Polynesian recording artists Willie K, Kapena, Siaosi and Nesian Nine all taking the centre stage.
However, the main highlight of the festival will of course be the rugby league. If recent history is anything to go by, fans should see multiple hard hitting games, especially between Tonga and Samoa, a game you donโt want to miss.
Their last clash occurred back in May at Pirtek Stadium in Sydney, which saw Samoa win 18 โ 6 in front of a crowd of 15,225, a record crowd for a Test match between Samoa and Tonga.
The match saw ruthless hits on both sides, demonstrating their commitment to their countries.
To watch the action from Hawaii, game one between Fiji and Canada will begin at 2pm AEST and will be followed by Tonga V Samoa at 4pm. Alternatively you can stream both games on demand from the day after.
If this weekendโs Ohana Cup is anything to by the rugby league should be exciting and the audience is in for an exciting two days of international rugby.
