Still only 1 try a piece for these 2 sides…
4 Minutes to go
Samoa penalty, obstructive running.
All Blacks looking strangely shitty in the backline, no precision.
1 Min to go in the match
Forward pass by Hika Elliot, scrum on halfway, Samoa ball
Time is up on the clock…
Final Score: All Blacks (12) 25 / 16 (3) Samoa
The 2 teams scored 13 points each in the 2nd half…
All Blacks very rusty this game, but of course it was half a 1st string side and half a 2nd string side, after the Super Rugby Final was this past weekend.
Samoa impressed me generally with their resolute defence and bone-crunching tackles… and never-say-die attitude.
OK, me off to bed again for a wee while… will get up at about 07:30 so it gives me just about an hour and three quarters to get some beauty sleep in… and I need it because today is going to be hell on wheels of a workday… far too many things to do in far too few hours!
… oh, and I must say, I enjoyed my own company this morning… hehehe
Phew if the springboks had this scoreline the knives would be sharpened.
Forget about the knives, here’s a delightful article from a knowledgeable rugby man:
