I can't wait for this match, should be a beauty. I'm supporting Samoa definatly, but I think Warburton and co will just get over the line.

I'm watching it but strangely distracted. I think it's because we were supposed to be playing the winner of this game. My enthusiasm is a bit knocked around this morning. I haven't even drunk any beer yet. If things get any worse, I might start talking to the wife and children again.

Scarfie, heaven forbid the last sentence ever happening. Experience tells me that this hollow feeling only gets worse while the beer isn't flowing.

Samoa have had no ball whatsoever. They are doing well to be only down by 3. They are missimg Tusi Pisi though

FUCK YES SAMOA!
There has been some great defensive efforts in this match. This really is the pool of deatg, both sides playing very equally.
The Welsh line-out has been horrible though, they will need to fix that asap.

It's hard cause I've got a soft spot for Wales (like Ireland) but Samoa look like the only Islander nation outside Fiji & Tonga that could make it to the next round & wanted at least one of these teams to go through. So yes up the Manu!

I really wish the commentators would shut up about taking the 3 points.

Oh FFS scrumhalf shouldve put it in.
EDIT: And I would've liked to have seen that breakdown as well to see if the Welsh player had actually released the player holding the ball.
