*******************

It was a brutal match, Samoa not relenting and Wales had to fight hard and right to the end to ensure their win.

One loss to Wales in Pool D, one loss to Samoa…. now the Springboks do not want to lose against Samoa, because it would mean one loss to them then as well, leaving the Pool wide open, and somebody will go Home!
