Going to be a tough day for the Boks, I fear, because unless they win by a fearsome margin, they are going to be ridiculed

At this stage they have more experience in being ridiculed than they have in winning
@ nortie:
I don’t think Samoa will win… will be close in the first half…Boks by 12
Mauro Bergamasco ready to come on as sub in his 5th Rugby World Cup… wow!
17 Years of international rugby for him!

Agree, also can’t see them losing to Samoa for the first time ever, but then again we also said the same about Argentina and Japan.
Much better from Italy. Good try
Italy try, Garcia…

I think that if the Boks are leading by 12 going into the last quarter, the crowd will carry the Samoans to victory.
Some silly mistakes by the Canadians have seen them relinquish the lead

The World Cup crowds tend to support the underdogs, so the crowd will be cheering for the Boks 😀

Good passage of play by Canada… that was about 18 Phases..
Then they turn it over, and they end up having to do a 22m drop out
Drop goal attemt by Allan… way, way right
15 Minutes to go in the game
@ nortie:
Im neutral..will be cheering for the big tackles…hope Jdv will be safe out there. .he looks fragile..
Canada penalty, but it is in their own half… good touchfinder by them
@ Te Rangatira:
Yep, after having his jaw wired because of the break he has been on a fluid diet for a while, lost quite a bit of weight and looks gaunt
Canada get within 10m again…
Ciao a tutti.
Forza Italia!
Canada replacement scrummie with a good break…
Come on Canada, do it against the spaggetti-munchers!
