In 2004 the pacific island nations of Tonga, Fiji and Samoa came together to form the Pacific Islanders and play matches against New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Here is their entertaining full match against the All Blacks, featuring a number of famous names and even a few future New Zealand players on the Pacific Islanders side.
While the Pacific Islanders lost all three big matches that year, they were able to field strong sides and the combined team created a lot of interest and excitement amongst fans.

The last time before this that the team played together was in 2008, when they picked up their first international win, beating Italy 25-17.
The match itself is very entertaining with a number of high quality tries scored. Enjoy.
