Rugby union at the 1969 South Pacific Games

Rugby union at the 1969 South Pacific Games, currently known as the Pacific Games, was hosted at Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea.[1] Fiji were hot favourites of the tournament, and delivered on that promise, producing some three-figure scorelines – beating New Caledonia by 113-13, and the Solomon Islands by 113-3.[2][3][4]

New Caledonia, Solomon Islands and Wallis and Futuna also took part in the tournament, Solomon Islands reaching the semi-finals[5].
