Some of New Zealand's biggest sporting names have taken to the rugby field in a fundraiser for the victims of the Pacific tsunami.

A Samoa selection took on an American Samoa team in the curtain-raiser to Auckland v Counties-Manukau at Eden Park on Sunday afternoon.

It pitted the likes of rugby league's Stacey Jones and rugby's Christian Cullen against Frank Bunce and double international Jeff Wilson.

There were tries galore - and for those keeping score, American Samoa won the match 40-20.
