On Samoa's Rugby World Cup:

"It's a learning curve for our players. We have enjoyed our time here. Our 24th player is England. We need opportunities for our team to be playing in competitions so that our players can be better.

"It's about the growth of women's rugby. We are hoping now we will get an influx of Samoan players after seeing this."

Sui Pauaraisa, captain

On her feelings on the match:

"We knew it was going to be a tough one going against the USA. They came out strong today so credit to them. All the best for their next games. I want to acknowledge York, everyone here behind us. They have been incredible supporting us. We could hear them shouting 'Samoa!' We have never played in front of a crowd like this.

"There are so many young players in our team. It is really sad it is coming to and end but hopefully Samoa will come back stronger at the next World Cup because this is where we belong."
