Wow they have picked the exact same side.

I guess they don’t rate the rest of the squad?? A very short gap

Or Russia has the driest powder of all...

Slowish start for both sides. A few errors

[Stargazer]

As they just mentioned, there have been late changes to the Samoan backline.

[ACT Crusader]

What a touch finder by the Russian 1st 5.

[ACT Crusader]

Argh, should’ve taken the 3 points. Get on the board.

[ACT Crusader]

Now the Russian pack send a message at scrum time sending the Samoan pack back on skates.

@ACT-Crusader Doesn't help when Matu'u puts in a shocking throw.

[ACT Crusader]

TNW nice vision and pass.

[ACT Crusader]

Pisi misses the conversion.

5-0 Samoa

[Stargazer]

Great try after an excellent pass from TNW.

[ACT Crusader]

Russian backline play is stagnant to say the least. Lots of shovelling

[ACT Crusader]

5-3 Samoa

[African Monkey]

Ala'alatoa having a difficult time on the tighthead side.

[antipodean]

How good do the Russian 9 and 15 look?

[ACT Crusader]

Russian captain and fullback nice little move and they make good field position.

Problem Russian has is they commit so many numbers to the breakdown that they don’t have enough attackers/support players out wide.

[ACT Crusader]

Now 6-5 Russia

[ACT Crusader]

Ouch and ouch

[ACT Crusader]

Wow, this could be Red for Rey

[Rapido]

What? The fuck?

[Stargazer]

Oh, f*ck. French ref. Going to give a red.
