The 2014 tournament saw the return of two-time champion Samoa, after withdrawing in 2013 to compete in the South African quadrangular tournament. With the addition of Samoa, the 2014 title was contested between Canada, defending champions Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and the United States. Unlike previous tournaments, the six teams were divided into two conferences: the Asia/Pacific conference and the Pacific Islands conference. Each team played each other once in their respective conferences, with no interconference matches. Four points were awarded for a win, two points for a draw and one point for a bonus point; the bonus point being awarded should a team score four or more tries in a match, or for a loss by seven points or less. The team with the most points in total will be named champions of the respective conferences. As the three-week tournament coincided with the three-week June international window, players were able to be released from their clubs for their national teams. When a team was not in action in either conference, they played host to a touring Tier 1 nation from Europe. In Round 1, the United States hosted Scotland, while Fiji hosted Italy. In Round 2, Canada played Scotland, and Samoa played Italy. In Round 3, Japan hosted Italy and Tonga played a Pacific Barbarians side. The full match schedule was announced on 9 April 2014. ==Asia/Pacific conference== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2014 IRB Pacific Nations Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
