Mose Masoe my man of the match. When he was on NZ scored 1 try(Vatuvei late in the game) and Samoa scored about 4 of their 5.

Was a massive performance. His presence literally changed the game. With Masoe on the field Samoa scored 20 points and NZ scored 6. (I think)

Alternatively you could probably make the argument that while JWH was off NZ turned to shit. Probably a bit of both.
He is a f**king legend. Should probally be in the nz team imo was our best forward at the back end of the year.
Devastated he won't be at Penrith next year :(

NZ can learn a lot from that game.

Most importantly, when they lose their heads and start playing rash, square-up football, they lose the contest. FPN's slap was the beginning of a major slide. Play like that against the Kangaroos, or even the Poms, and we lose.

Super impressed with JWH and Bromwich. Add Matulino (take Moa out) and we've got a handy prop rotation.

Really covered about left centre. Going on what I saw today, Goodwin is clearly not the guy.

Does anybody know where I could watch a full replay of this game?

I fell asleep just after the PNG game and woke up just before full time of this game. So bloody guttered.

I think the lead went to their heads and became complacent, better teams will run us down.
The error rate was to high, 12 to Samoa to 8.
Kicking game didn't feel the best.
Whare running away from RTS to butcher a try was disappointing, Mannering being stripped was weak.
Hopefully we keep getting better like we traditionally do.
Short turn around for French game.
