The Samoa Rugby Union officially launched its Invest Samoa Lakapi Championship at a function held at Tanoa Tusitala Hotel Conference Centre on Wednesday night.
The event was led with a blessing by Father Muliau Stowers who stressed the importance of sports players maintaining a balance between physical, spiritual and mental strength.
“One of the main reasons why players get into trouble is because they lack spiritual growth and development”, said Fr Stowers.
