BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - Lima Sopoaga has made an emotional appeal for the return of a kicking tee he has owned since he was 14, which went missing after Samoa's 43-10 victory over Chile on Saturday.

The 32-year-old former All Blacks flyhalf, who came on as a second-half replacement and converted Samoa's final try, said he had left the tee by the pitch with some eye drops.
