Again kicked out directly… but they are varying play nicely, and Samoa keep making yards at a time

Was a well-manufactured try…

Yep
They make silly errors because they try so much, but boy those backs look good with ball in hand
Skills we can only dream of

If they don’t allow us to bully them in the forwards they can hurt us
