Scotland v Samoa

[Stargazer]

First try of the second half goes to Scotland, again after a driving maul. Stuart McInally again. The conversion is good: 32 - 10 Scotland.

[Stargazer]

Going to the TMO for a possible Samoan try. I think the on-field decision is "no try".

[Stargazer]

Try! Fa’asalele dots down after some pick and go. 32-17 Scotland

This new Samoan halfback can't pass for shit.

[Stargazer]

@african-monkey Hopefully, for him and Samoa, it's just beginner's nerves. They don't want many more of those hospital passes.

[Stargazer]

Try TNW!!

[African Monkey]

Lets go SAMOA!!!

[Stargazer]

TNW converts his own try: it's 32 - 24 to Scotland after 63 minutes.

[Stargazer]

It didn't take long for Scotland to hit back. Dunbar for the try.

Try to Fonotia, making the Mako sign. Good boy haha.

[African Monkey]

Crucial kick here for TNW.

[Stargazer]

TNW converts and it's 37 to 31. 69 minutes gone.

[Stargazer]

@african-monkey Samoa definitely still in it!

[African Monkey]

@stargazer Argh! That try should seal it for the Scots.

[Stargazer]

Pete Horne slices through the Samoan defence and scores. Converted: 44-31 Scotland after 75 minutes.

[African Monkey]

Not over just yet!

[Stargazer]

Great try from the Samoan 20! TNW converts: 44 -38 Scotland. Two and half minutes left.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Scotland 44 - 38 Samoa

Great entertaining game. Scotland playing some fast footy, but it worked better in the first than in the 2nd half. Samoa had a better 2nd half, and didn't seem to have the discipline issues that they've often shown in the past. Well played!

[African Monkey]

@stargazer The 5 minutes before and halftime proved costly for the Samoans who I thought played the better rugby today. Still, good to see some pride shown from Samoa especially after going 32-10 down, something which has been missing for a long time.
