Why did they check that?
My take is that the ref probably didn't like Rokolisoa's showboat put down so threw it to the TMO hoping for a miracle.

This Samoa team is going to be dangerous! Dark horse for the title?
Not sure if I'm live... but 34-nil Samoa

I only caught the last minute, but this England team of no names look dreadful. About half a dozen opportunities blown in 60 seconds. All they needed to do at the ruck steal was one pass and fall over the line and couldn't even do that!

England keeping their powder dry…

We'll take that. Saw the last 5 minutes.
Why kick to touch on that last penalty though? Tap it and run the click down. Very nearly went pear shaped.
Yeah just tap and run backwards! Great comeback.

That’s the good thing about sevens. Odds of hanging on to the ball for 20+ seconds about the same as losing a lineout. Much easier to be deemed isolated, more contest for the ball, mistakes heavily punished...
How many times have we seen that scenario of trying to hold the ball end up n a penalty, a march down the field and a loss. At least the line out chewed up most of the clock so it was just win possession and boot it out.
