do the samoans have a good game in them ? or do the Scots a bad one ?

could we see an upset and Japan go through, i am assuming they will beat the US

Scotland by 20. I'm guessing Samoa will have 1 leg on the plane already and will be completely disinterested in putting up a fight.

Cotter taking no chances. Best possible starting 15 with available players, with the possible exception of Strauss vs Wilson.

Good bench to round it off, although I'd have preferred Weir over Horne just for this game. If things started going pear shaped, I'd have preferred his squatter body and kicking game, Horne is more versatile and free flowing, but he might just get smashed instead, a la the States game.

Samoa hit back off the kickoff. Pisi scores in the corner.

Samoa 8-3 with conversion to come.

Scots need to work out the receiving kickoffs, the 2 ones so far have been very poor.

Pisi converts and the score is 10-3 after 11.

Laidlaw doesn't miss, and 10-10 after 12.
