Offside from the not-deliberate knock on by Samoa
-
Only 10 in it. Take the points.
-
Try Samoa. And now it's 6 points. 90secs left
-
-
Samoa were their own worst enemy. So many unforced errors especially knock ons.
-
Those changes needed to be made much earlier especially at halfback
-
Cracking watch
Credit to both teams
Jaco did very well
Let down by TMO

Indeed, tho I am very unsure how both him and the liney missed Lam's tackle right in front of them
-
@Billy-Tell I know there is another nameless TMO but I can't criticise them if I don't know who they are.
The Horie tackle was no different to Ta'avao's, and we know how that ended.
-
Samoa played better without Lam. More purposeful.
-
that was a fun game of footy. Japan tackled like demons, but Samoa created enough only to throw a shit 50/50 and cede possession
That 2nd last Samoa try was a thing of absolute beauty. 20 pick and goes just smashing Japanese players. A flick pass, and a quick spread. Gorgeous.

Samoa dangerous as when they just pick and smash in the centre, knocking the Japs back like ten pins
That was their strength, yet on a number of occasions they showed a lack of patience and just threw the ball wide.
I enjoyed the match overall, but there were some frustrating patches watching Samoa. They actually could be a fantastic 10-man rugby game team, if they wanted to be.
