[Bobby Sands]

I hope Samoa plays a half sensible game of rugby and gives it to Scotland.

Great to see Jack Lam back, hes the best.

Seuteni, ex-Reds player on the bench is interesting - very creative.

Ex Churchie & Perth player Henry Taefu at 12.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Scotland v Samoa pretty ordinary game so far. Hard to see how either side are going to score tries in these hot humid conditions

 

[Dismal Pillock]

HT 20-nil Scroteland, she's all over. The less-than-anaerobically svelte Samoans had to make too many tackles and hit the wall. You'd think the Scrotes would be struggling with the nutsack city limits humidity but they look extremely fit.

FFS where was this Scrotey Pareremoremo BaaBaa's XV vs Ireland damnit.

HT listening:

 

[Bobby Sands]

TJ Ioane was immense early. Jack Lam was great too.

The Samoans get penalised so viciously for mine. I think minnows get penalised more strictly as a rule, which is rubbish.

Also players going offside and calling themselves before getting back on side is almost never a penalty, except if you are Kepu and its against Wales in kickable distance.

RWC organisers have dodged a weather bullet:

' Weather forecast at [France v USA] kick-off time: Typhoon Mitag will be nearby but it's not expected to hit Fukuoka as initially feared. Still, a high chance of rain and possible thunderstorms with gusts up to 63km/h. Temperature of 22 degrees celsius. '

So a typical afternoon in Wellywood but warmer

HT 12-6. Sepps hanging in there. GO THE BOILOVER

 

[TSR]

Very clever little kick ahead by the USA winger. The French are under the pump here.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Bugger. For a while there I thought this could get interesting if the eagles keep it close. But that last french try was the last straw. The french ball handling has let them down a fair bit in this match. Much better from the USA this game.

Also, I'd really like to know what that french salute thing is for after they score their tries. Are they paying respect for USA bailing their arses out during the war? Probably not but im genuinely keen to know what thats about.

[teach]

I was hoping Gardner might get the final. Not looking likely now. You don't fuck with the home unions.
He's been axed from the England v Argentina game.

FFS IRB. Way to throw your spotlighted employees under the bus.

Worse still, this totally vindicates Joe Schmidt's sook habit of compiling a big fucken whinging post-match dossier on refs detailing in bullet point format how they didnt let his guys cheat

Not looking forward to next year when he is Ian Foster's assistant for the All Blacks.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Foster's "assistants" next year will be Jamie Joseph and Tony Brown. Who, of course, will completely run the team. Foster knows he has no clue and needs to appoint someone who does

but but but he's "retiring" after the world cup
