AB's v Samoa
-
Manu will be kicking themselves. They have stuffed up at least 4 times hot on attack.

Forward by sbw.. zzz
SBW fucked it up by throwing the dummy and taking contact.
Samoa butchered a try on the right hand side of the field just before that.
-
my extremely legal stream is about a minute late it seems. Read about Barrett's try a minute before I saw it. Nicely taken the try, but what shit midfield defence by ABs again.
-
Samoa very unlucky here.
-
Not sure what to think about that , nice to score a try ,
But Samoa prob deserve one more than us
-
How far away is Ryan Crotty?
-
That's better.

Not so sure about that, by the time he could throw the pass there was a Samoan player coming across who could have got in the way of the pass.
Did like Aaron's displeasure at Cody's idiotic pass over the sideline.
-
That was pretty cool
-
Good try, nicely done by Jules and Beauden, then great vision from ALB to turn it back to Ardie on the inside, he's all class.
-
Great set piece play and nice work from ALB at the end.
-
@Donsteppa he reckons he will be ready for next week (was on RS this morning)
-
Gutted for BBBR, was a great pickup and offload to put Dagg away.
-
where's the crowd?
-
Good to see SBW running hard and straight, tough to stop from there.
-
Justin Marshall is a fucking idiot. Five phases with no gain is advantage over for offside penalty from a 5m scrum?

@kiwiinmelb plus Lions last week, test next weekend
-
SBW looks great on attack and shit on defence.
Score doesnt reflect the game.
-
Well, I'm glad we had this test to blow out some cobwebs. Samoa have been way better then 28-0, but have been their own worst enemy on attack. ABs had the rub of the green from the ref for sure.
Starting to get some rhythm now, could get ugly in the 2nd 40.

There are four test matches in Auckland this year plus Blues v Lions. If you are going to get out there, why bother going to see Samoa if you can see ABs playing Lions twice or SA?

Yep should be 14-7 -
@Stargazer said in AB's v Samoa:
@dingo Maybe if you missed out on Lions' tickets or could not afford them?
Maybe there is something wrong with 4 out of 7 home AB test matches being in Auckland. Just sayin.

There are four test matches at Eden Park this year. If you are going to get out there, why bother going to see Samoa if you can see ABs playing Lions twice or SA?
Well, you needed to get lucky to get tickets to the Lions.
I think the double-header idea has failed. Not many wanted to fork out for Wales v Tonga without the best Welsh players, and getting there on time on a Friday night was always a stretch given Eden Parks location, so most just home after work.

Looks like some posters got their wish, Julian Savea isn't playing....
You've stolen my halftime joke. Jesus - you couldn't accuse him of Reuben Thorne's workrate!
ABs looking very rusty in the first 20 minutes. Finding some groove now. Aaron Smith been looking good to me. Ben Smith - as usual. Kaino going pretty well.
SBW with some early errors, then some good stuff.
Probably a good thing we're having this hit out!

@Tim
having been to Twickers with the hooray henrys (and had a lot of fun being the token kiwi) I'm reminded the population of London (and nearby counties) is a lot larger and richer than Auckland. But to be fair, I think that was your point. -

I think the only reason why it's a double header was that the stadium in Nuku'alofa wasn't ready in time. So it's not so much an "idea", more a solution to a venue problem.

@Tim said in AB's v Samoa:
@dingo What I'm saying is that if a shitload of money is spent on a stadium in Auckland, then it is likely to become a national stadium. You might see only one test outside of Auckland per year.
Why? Are the NZRFU paying for the Auckland Stadium? The RFU own Twickenham. The NZRFU don't own Eden Park and nor will they own Waterfront/AN other new Auckland Stadium.
-
Awesome try from Izzy; great work from ALB.
-
ALB take a bow.
-
ALB is so fucking good.
-
Man ALB is pure class. This is getting ugly for Samoa.

One of those players who look better in black, even his own admissions didn't start the super season well.

Nah - you guys don't turn out enough at rugby. You'd just get all the Warriors games there!
-
Only 28 points? Terrible!
(Player i don't rate) is doing shit! Lucky we have (player i rate) or this would be ugly
SBW something something
If we don't sort this in a week we are screwed!
(I'm not watching, just don't want to be left out)
