If you thought the Samoan community was out in force last weekend to support their men's team at the Rugby League World Cup, well you haven't seen anything yet.
Toa Samoa are through to the final against Australia in Manchester on Sunday morning and organisers of events and parades around New Zealand are expecting flags to be flying and celebrations to hit full swing, regardless of the result.
Otara in South Auckland looks poised to attract the biggest numbers, with a big screen set up to cater for hundreds of fans when the final kicks off at 5am.
Samoan community leader Jerome Mika spoke to Corin Dann.
