Go Samoa GO
with our boy Taulafo !!!
It can be ugly or wonder ful
All Blacks 3 / 0 Samoa
Dan Carter to goal again from a penalty.
He misses… 22 Drop out by Samoa.
As we’ve become used to, the Samoans are tackling the shit out of the other side…. but the All Blacks have all the ball to play with and somewhere the wall will eventually burst…
Dan Carter to goal again…. from a penalty… this one is in-off the lefthand post.
All Blacks 6 / 0 Samoa
Looks like I am the only dumb shit in SA to get up before 04:00 for this game…. hehehe
Samoa penalty on about halfway… should be a kick for goal
All Blacks 6 / 3 Samoa
Samoa backline offside, All Blacks kickable penalty
All Blacks 9 / 3 Samoa
Yet another All Blacks penalty, Samoan way, way offside at the ruck… penalty is near the 22 of Samoa… kicked into the corner.
All Blacks knock the ball, just after the 5m lineout.
Samoa defensive scrum on their own 5m line.
All Blacks scrum penalty, it will be a shot at goal I think… yip!
All Blacks 12 / 3 Samoa
Samoa kicks off again… and directly out, scrum middle spot.
Samoa penalty, man over the ball on the ground very quickly there…
Samoa’s breakdown work has been good so far, a couple of vital ballls stolen like that so far.
Lost forward by the All Blacks outside backline players, Samoa scrum.
All Blacks running everything wide but they have not as yet respected the Samoa defence enough and so all the senseless flinging out wide has just been met with staunch defence. One needs to earn the right to go wide, attack more in the closer channels and sometimes vary by attacking with the forwards…
Halftime…
Not a single try out there yet!
Jeeeez, maybe I should build myself a quick cuppa coffee…
It is early, it is cold…
It is a clear morning, should not be a bad day today and is not as cold as I expected it to be… but winter it is!
Apia Park is a stadium the size of many of our bigger School Stadiums in South Africa.
It is right between the bushes and hills of the Island nation of Samoa.
2nd Half ON!
Dan Carter kicks directly out from the kick-off, scrum middle spot it is for Samoa.
Big All Blacks scrum, but the Samoans get their scrum ball.
Samoa defence still fierce… like they were all 1st half
Try George Moala, All Blacks, from a cross-kick… 1st try it is!
Soon as they do not just fling it wide, but vary the play, the Samoans are caught out.
All Blacks 19 / 3 Samoa
One senses the scores could really break loose in the 2nd half…
Samoa penalty, playing the ball on the floor… kick at goal it is.
All Blacks 19 / 6 Samoa
