RWC: Scotland v Samoa (Pool A)
-
Samoa need to hold out here after a brilliant touch finder by Hogg.
-
I thought Lam was a little unlucky there. I thought the maul splintered and Lam took down a single player.

-
Pretty ugly half of footy
-
Scotland knocked on in their last attack. A try would have been harsh.
-
@Stargazer Porobably less than ever haha. Previous world cups have had a whole heap of them to the point where you would think it was the only way of winning.

TJ Ioane has been excellent. The rest of the Samoans. Not so much.
Other than TJ’s defence, hard to find many if any other positives for Samoa in that half.

Not the greatest.
Which is a bit of a let down after the cracking games this weekend.
Maybe the second half makes up for it... -
Scotland will put a big score on I feel if they use their kicking game and continue to force Samoa to come out of their half as Samoa look to chase the game which is a nightmare to do in these conditions.The rolling maul is also a weapon for the Scots as well.
-
Ref has been very good. Albeit the pace isn’t that great so he’s been able to keep up with the play and not a lot of 50/50s so far.
-
FFS Samoa far too inaccurate with the basics of the game.
-
For some reason, I'm finding this game incredibly boring - even though the Ref is try to keep the game flowing.
-
@Victor-Meldrew Yeah not a great watch for the neutrals. Error ridden with Samoa lacking the basic skills to mount a challenge.
-
Samoa needed to score in that earlier exchange to resuscitate the game and crowd.
Poor handling and ball security again let them down.

The Jocks haven't been too flash either. Mullered an easy try just now.
-
@Victor-Meldrew No they haven't, but they haven't really had to be either. Once they decided to play simple they've had success.
