Stawell's first rugby club fosters sense of camaraderie and a home away from home among Pacific migrants

From the balmy Samoan village of Asau to country Victoria, Storrs Ualesi has always carried rugby in his soul.

"My dad is a rugby player, so it's always in my blood," he said.

As the only son in his family, Mr Ualesi was unable to play rugby union when he was young because he was needed around the home.
