You cant prove it didnt win them the game

😆

If that's your strongest argument, then you're clutching a bit matey. They'd have won it with a burst ball. 🙂

Great try! Set up by Frans Steyn's break - That guy is good.
Samoa can't get out of their own half 🙁

NZ - "Bring it on" is not the same as "Go . ." lol

Habana runs like his ass is on fire! Excellent start 🙂

Steyn is a very good player, reminds me of Henson 😀 in his ability to do simple things very well and make space for others.

Cant help but want samoa to win despite what it will mean for Wales.

Actually what will it mean for Wales?

Both should be off for that! Saffer raining head shots down on Williams.....How was that not a card as well? Williams had to go, however.

Ah bugger, they've thrown it away.

Yeah I thought that CFH - the Bok was hitting Williams in the head with his forearm

CFH, agreed a bit harsh, 2 reds or none. I guess the linesman couldn't see the efforts to release.

touch judge gave the ref duff advice, that was no red card, two yellows maybe, then ref screws up and evens things up!

'Saffer raining head shots down on Williams'??? Please, he was trying to free himself, hitting at the arms. Samoa is playing nice rugby BUT they have been pretty dirty and and tried every so often to get a reaction from SA players to retaliate, which SA did not rise ( slump) to.

Sputnik, nothing wrong with trying to free yourself, but not if it means repeated elbows to the head, not the arms.

Back in the day it would hardly have got a mention, not sure if I like the card system, equally a Welsh ref must be under a certain amount of pressure in this game.

I thought the ref did a good job apart from the yellow card for Smit, the red card was wrong but he had no choice after what the touch judge said.

I agree.

Great match though eh? I think Samoa had them worried. I couldn't watch the end of it at my desk cos it was too damn exciting! Will watch the recording later.

Just walked the dogs over a stunning Berkshire downs, just heard Inverdale say France were a shambles and now the first time the saes and Scotland have ever played outside of the UK. Come on Scotland send the buggers back.

Bloody annoyed the Frogs scraped through, no way did they deserve to... shame Tonga couldn't get just one of the myriad of trys on offer to them, poor finishing options, goes to show the difference between a top team and a good team I guess!

Would not be at all suprised if Scotland manage to beat England by 8 points today (that's what they need to do right?), I'll be rooting for 'em anyway 8)

Just realised, Tonga played Canada only three days after the ABs. Must be gutted that they lost that game now. Big team scheduling again 🙂

Much as though I'd love a Saturday morning fairy tail, realistically I can only see this going one way:-(

Love the two national anthems though - first up "please God, don't let the Jacobites kill us"

Followed by "let's kill them the way we did at Bannockburn"
