Pool D: Wales v Samoa

Another wrestle, and Samoa go so close. Check the numbers (here and at ruckingoodstats.com) ... it was real close! No one can ever talk about Samoa over achieving, or punching above their weight anymore: they are in the tent, they are at the table and frankly are probably better than their ranking of 10.

Sure there was a bit of guess the rule interpretation with Rolland there, but this was another physical game, battle out in the middle of the park.

Wales will be relieved - it was close and not pretty, but they are getting it right, and Priestland, Roberts, Warburton and AW Jones were legends.

How good is Kahn Fotuali’i? He is class ... a player that kept Andy Ellis as No. 2 halfback at the Crusaders. Manu Samoa, you rock, and your fans rock. Go get those Bokke now!
