RWC 2011 - Pool D - Fiji, Namibia, Wales, South Africa, Samoa

[Slim 293]

Samoa need to watch those swinging high shots... there was a passage of play before where every tackle was close to being a penalty offence.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

The ball or the wind not effecting the kicking of Tusi Pisi.

26min in roughly Namibia did really well to counter that attempt at push over try near the line by Samoa.

x2 Injuries to Samoa, one to Pisi with a hamstring problem - not good news for manu Samoa.

 

[matty_k]

Samoa have lost Tusi Pisi (left hammy) and Tuifua (ribs) in quick succession

 

[AngrySeahorse]

11 Alesani Tuilagi over for the try, 3 attempts made to stop him failed.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!! Shoulder charge the Samoans will be busted for that.

EDIT: Yellow card to Paul Williams.

& Thats 1/2 time.

 

[tigerland12]

Samoa slacked off in the second quater I thought, credit to the Namibian defence though.

The loss of Pisi is a massive one, he was controlling brilliantly, not to mention his goal kicking

 

[Rev Spooner]

Would like to se a replay of the shoulder charge.

 

[Rev Spooner]

Just saw a replay - perfectly legal.

Would like to se a replay of the shoulder charge.

Just saw it then & I dont think it was. In real time first look it looked like it but the replay showed Paul used his arms.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Samoa in but ruled a forward pass, still a penalty to Samoa as Namibia offside. Paul coming back on for Samoa, Namibia unable to do any damage with Samoa a man down.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

That scrum penalty to me looked like it should've gone to Namibia with it looking more like Samoa brought it down.

28-0 Samoa.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

11 Alesani Tuilagi over again! Thats x3 tries to the big winger.

Around 56 min in that high ball take from the Namibians was a courage take! Their line-outs have been very poor today though.

Around 58 min in Namibian defence cant stop Williams over for the try. Conversion successful 42-0.

How good is Tuilagi!!

Arguably best winger in world rugby. He is sensational.

Wales should be worried... and SA too actually. Samoa really look the real deal.

Good thing I put him in my fantasy team! I might not suck so badly this round.

If either of them go down (and I think it's a real possibility) they can't say we didn't warn them

Agreed he is awesome! Samoa do look very good the main thing I'd be concerned with is the injuries they've copped, I hope the Tusi Pisi injury to his hamstring isnt serious.

Good thing I put him in my fantasy team! I might not suck so badly this round.

Me too but I'll go you one better, he's my Capt this round!

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Poor Namibia though I hope they get some points in this game.

EDIT: And they do! Alright Namibia way to keep trying!

Wish answered!

Jaques Burger is immense, he is a superstar!

Fa'asavalu has been the best on the park so far IMO

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Fa'asavalu is one strong runner he's bounced off a few & just kept going. Could get ugly with a man down here for Namibia they'll have to find something from somewhere to keep the Samoans out, I think the Samoans will go in again.

EDIT: Penalty try, close enough.

 

[chief]

Good game, Samoa were pretty solid. I heard Namibia are playing all there games within 16 days. Not very fair.

Full credit to the Namibians they didn't give up and they didn't stop trying to play good attractive rugby.
