Samoa need to be playing games against the big 3 every year. Theyre probably going to just lose today but a win can't be far off.

Play NZ around Origin time maybe?

All these players are Australian based aren't they?

That was a rare mistake from Voss, they beat Tonga didn't they?

The one forward passed ruled on goes backwards. If they ruled the acrual forward passes the better team wins.

Well, maybe not. Ben Roberts is good for 'special' plays that lose matches.

Wasn't too bad of a game that tbf. Both teams lacked a bit of composure but it was entertaining stuff. 2 weeks in a row Goal kicking has cost Samoa at least a draw.

Thanks Samoa and New Zealand for a fantastic afternoon of football. Great crowd, excellent anthems and hakas, gutsy stuff from Samoa but they need better last tackle options. New Zealand did enough to win.

Surely there are refs in NZ who have reffed since they were juniors that can do a better job. The guys who do the Warriors NSW Cup games seem ok.

Perenara is dreadful, and shows that fast tracking ex players into the NRL ranks doesn't work.

Home nation refs in an international can never be allowed again after that disgrace. I feel like I am watching that f**kwit spinner from India's hat trick.

Samoa deserve a victory in this series. Shame they have no chance of getting it now that Australia must win next week to make the final

The problem Samoa has and probably always will have is that they get guys playing for them at the end of their career or at the start. Once guys like Simona, Lafai, Moga develop they'll be playing for NZ or Australia.

Same for Tonga/Fiji etc.

Great effort Samoa, unlucky in the end. Played with more purpose and intensity throughout.

Dams those Kiwis. So the final is between NZ and either Aust or the Poms, depending on who wins tomorrow night.

How f**king good is international footy, you see why this needs to be taken more seriously and not treated as an afterthought to Origin?

Definitely worth staying up for, but now it's 5am and I'm done! Damn I love these international matches.

Perenara should be hauled over the coals for this performance, never gave Samoa a call in the second half, and how was that last play forward - very dubious display
