Taiasina Tuifua ook af beseer,
Another Samoan off injured….. Taiasina Tuifua, their blindside flanker
Ribs and hamstrings ……not good news for Samoa.
@ superBul:Most of the refs are clueless when it comes to the scrum.
Hehehehe… Namibia softening up the Samoans for the Bokke….
Jussie… the Tank of a Samoan winger, Tuilagi, runs over a Namibian a-la-Lomu… for a try
Samoa 25 / ZIPP
@ grootblousmile:
daai was darem ook n swak tackle
Damn, the Stadium looks like a Pam Brink or Witbank or a High School Stadium… grass banks for seats….
Handbags!
Yellow Card for Paul Williams of Samoa, for a dangerous tackle
Johan Muller has a hamstring strain and is in doubt for the weekends game.

40 @ Loosehead:
Damn, the Bokke locks are falling like flies!
Not good!
@ grootblousmile:
One player that would be a good call up to the squad is Wicus van Heerden
@ superBul:
The Boks need a #5 lock.
@ Loosehead:
were is he playing lately for the Lions?
2nd Half ON
@ superBul: @4.
handling error by Sailosi Tagicakibau for Samoa
@ superBul:
Danie has played at 5 for the Bulls, so it is not a train smash. But who to play at 4 then? Alberts is the natural choice, but that would mean Spies will play in a very physical game. Chances are that he will just disappear again. Or will Schalk play at 8 with Louw and Brussouw on the flank?
SAMOA – Namibia
40 (4)Tackles(Missed)65 (14)
Or will they play Bismark on the flank?
@ Loosehead:
WP tried Schalk at lock before
Almost another try for Tuilagi
Almost a hat trick for number 11 Alesana Tuilagi, ruled forward pass
Is Samoa’s scrum good, or Namibia’s scrum crap?
