I really don't understand how Horie's card stayed yellow, but Lam's gets upgraded to red. IMO both should have received red.

It has to come back to the human factor -- unconscious bias vs conscious bias.... I personally think there is a bit of both at play...

Remember its only a few weeks ago Farrell got down graded .......and then consider some of the non-citing's ...... Its a bloody mess

[Steven Harris]

No clear release whatsoever, not condoning the Samoans frustrations but can totally understand

[Mattasaurus]

oh dear --- Samoa butchered a certain try there

[Machpants]

knock on no try

Knock on. Deliberately

Now you are talking bollocks, he had both hands down to grab it and one arm was hit by the Samoan players

[booboo]

Ok, not deliberate

First view I thought deliberate.

On replay I was wrong.

Am I allowed to say that on TSF?

[Machpants]

Yep you can and I can call it bollocks

Why weren't Samoa playing like this the whole game!

You'd hope game on!

Offside from the not-deliberate knock on by Samoa

[Machpants]

Japan used to be the offloading/quick passing kings, that has really fallen away

Only 10 in it. Take the points.

[Machpants]

28-15, with 5 to go

[booboo]

Try Samoa. And now it's 6 points. 90secs left

[Machpants]

Samoa dangerous as when they just pick and smash in the centre, knocking the Japs back like ten pins

[Billy Tell]

Samoa were their own worst enemy. So many unforced errors especially knock ons.

[Steven Harris]

Those changes needed to be made much earlier especially at halfback
