Joe Tekori almost breaks down after shock news of Barbarians clash being cancelled
An emotional Joe Tekori understandably was very emotional in a raw interview just moments after finding out that the Barbarians vs Samoa match had been canceled.
The Samoa rugby player was put in front of the media to give his reaction to the news that the game had been cancelled after several Barbarians players tested positive for COVID.
It makes for a difficult watch in a game which would have meant so much for Manu Samoa.
The team came out to sing their anthem in an emotional moment.

This was meant to be the last game for Joe Tekori, which makes this video especially hard to watch as a rugby fan.
