And just another stupid, unnecessary penalty gives Scotland the opportunity to score from the maul.

Defence is just all over the place. Man down doesn't help, but there's no commitment to the tackle.

Very silly from that Samoan guy holding back Laidlaw. It's not like he was ever going to stop the try. Just a stupid way to turn 7 points into 3.

Maitland taken out, no advantage, a series of scrappy plays results in a Samoan penalty.

What a surprise, Samoa produce their best performance of the Tournament so far.
They look significantly more physically farked though. Should run over the top especially with Wilson back on and them a lock down early.

I think we'd beat either Scotland or Japan without too much trouble. Japan making the quarters would be incredible.
However Samoa should be winning this game easily and are only up by 3. And Scotland are a 2nd half team.

Best attacking performance but their discipline is just as bad as ever. Scotland would be well behind if Samoa's discipline was anything other than terrible. And that first try they gave away was just so so stupid. You're lucky to be in the game really.
So I think you'll win too but who knows! A lot on the line for Scotland so the pressure could get to them. And Samoa look like scoring just about every time they get the ball.

Luck is rubbish. We've been "lucky" to be in the game for every one so far. We consistently don't get the reward at the breakdown either.
The Samoans are as soft in defence as we are, they were 19/30 for successful tackles, so if the lines get sorted out, we'll make a lot of breaks.

Well your first try was certainly lucky. Your lucky Samoa did something stupid to have their last try disallowed. That's 14 points difference right there that had virtually nothing to do with good play from Scotland.
And agreed that they are just as vulnerable in defence. But I think Scotland would do better just to tighten everything up. Playing an up tempo wide game with Samoa is very risky!

Anyway, Wilson will get 10 and be pulled for Strauss. He'll help the battle both physically and defensively.

Disagree with the 1st try. Seymour scores far too many intercept tries for that to be anything but skill.

Well they threw a massive cut out pass 5 metres out from their line with no overlap. That is just stupid and IMO Scotland are lucky Samoa did something so stupid!!

Another one butchered by Samoa! Pass with two hands man!

There were about 4 penalties against Samoa at that scrum and Peyper pays none of them. Luckily they knocked on, and we win the penalty from the next one.

And finally you decide to kick the points! Absolutely mental not to when Laidlaw is so accurate.
