Samoa are technically still in it with one win and one loss. If England have a very bad day ...

@Jailbreak7 Japan next week?
-
@African-Monkey Samoa beat Japan in Japan a month ago. Anything is possible.
-
@MiketheSnow easy daisy. Not over until the fat lady sings
-
@Stargazer Don't see why we can't beat Japan. Be a good contest.
-
But even if you beat Japan with a bonus point then you’re at 10
Argentina should beat Chile with 5 pts and Japan with 4 pts
Which puts Argentina on 13
That means only a win against England will see Samoa through
Can’t see it
-
Made it hard for themselves impressed by their defence. Some off side calls were questionable and did not show any replays on any of them 🤷🏽♂️
-
@MiketheSnow With the card circus that is going on, anything is possible.
-
Don’t forget 14 man England throttled Argentina
-
@MiketheSnow But they wont do it with Farrell at the helm.
-
Another cripple fight. Argentina are really underwhelming. Samoa are a motley crew of ex super rugby players and ex all blacks at the tail end of their careers. CL had a really poor game. Non stop whistle from the ref. Lee and the halfback the best of the samoans
Is anyone willing to argue the ABs are poorer without luatua??
-
@Billy-Tell .....you can add James Lowe, Bundee Aki and Fritz Lee to that list
-
@MiketheSnow Fully agree, we're gone now. Will be tough against a fresher Japan off a shortish turnaround, but don't see any reason why we can't get up for it, and Japan have been pretty poor so far this year as a whole.
-
@Billy-Tell Yeah we get it, Samoa are tier 2 with a limited player pool, they make do with what they have. No need to state the obvious.

Sounds to me like you’re stating the obvious.
Don’t be so tetchy. Think Samoa should look to promote some youth rather than players in their 30s. They bring experience but some genuinely looked like veteran grade players. IMO players should decide early on am I for NZ or for Samoa?
-
As an aside that card call was another piece of crap. Argentina guy runs deliberate blocking. Should have been at worst a penalty for pushing a player.
