haha, no look, that was one of the worst displays of unforced errors in international rugby I can remember. Without all those errors NZ should have put 100 points on them, they dominated every aspect but did not know what to do… maybe their attack is too counter attack orientated.
I could have also gone to bed early, had to be on site at 6am, so watching the game was even more punishing.
@ nortie:
Samoa were rubbish last week, odds were they would be rubbish this week.

Poor sharks supporters… first comprehensive performance of the year and the game is not televised. they will be sure to swear SARU, bulls supporters and the ref for missing the game.

Kry vir jou, seun. If you picked Samoa after Japans and Samoa’s showing against SA, then you deserve to be red carded from Bru with a lifelong ban at least
66 @ Just For Kicks:
Geez nortie will bombard them with appeals
2nd Half ON!
@ Just For Kicks:
Nah, doing so shit so far, doesn’t make a difference.
Was hoping Samoa cut loose a bit and give those backs some good ball, not to be

Yeah, and we know how corrupt the SA Cops are too
Japan are lucky that Samoa are getting penalised so much, because twice now, they have lost the ball at scrum time
Samoa continue in being their own worst enemies, and turning the crowd against them. Sad really
Japan penalty to goal…
Japan 23 / 0 Samoa
Samoa 5m out… what can they do here?
1st decent play by Samoa, almost in too.
Samoa knock…
Genade maar Samoa is kak verby!

Playing against the crowd is difficult, playing against the ref is impossible
Japan just smash Samoa in the scrum again… such awesome Japanese dicipline!

Seriously kak
The rest of the rugby playing nations can take some lessons from the Japanese scrum.
Tim Nanai-Williams at the back of Samoa has been almost a mere spectator, so little possession has come Samoa’s way!!
@ Just For Kicks:
they were excellent against the boks, under pressure in the first half, but it did not matter because as soon as the ball went in it left the scrum…was brilliant.

I dont agree that Joubert is against the Samoans. I think he has had a pretty good game. When a side is playing such negative rugby, any ref is going to be on your case a bit more. Samoans are doing it to themselves. No sympathy from me.
No kort ek ‘n lekker dop… ‘n laaaang grotetjie!
84 @ Just For Kicks:
My sentiments exactly!

me too… last person the Samoans can blame is the ref.
Samoans stringing together some much better play now, but Japanese defence is simply awesome
Daar knock ‘n flokken dom Samoa stut weer…
Kommaan Japan, moer hulle!!
Samoa is lucky to have ZERO!!!
