Careless from Luai but at least he was man enough to admit his mistake and apologise.
34-16 FT (22-6 at HT)Final score and crowd?
To'o and Critter alone are probably a 12 point swing. They were also missing some good forwardsCongrats to England. Have looked classier and generally played within themselves outside of the Samoan sinbin period.
As a Dragons fan I was very interested in how Leilua would go at lock. In attack he looks ok but in defence not so much.
Samoa need at least another 3 quality players before they can compete with tier 1 nations but what I like about them is they stick to their own style of footy.
Australia is touring England next yearHopefully its Australia or New Zealand that go there next year or maybe they can tour over here. It's so nice to see international footy.
You mean like Crichton, To'o, Tuilagi, Utoikamanu and potentially Haas and Tino? At full strength Samoa are as competitive as anyone.Congrats to England. Have looked classier and generally played within themselves outside of the Samoan sinbin period.

Best and most expensive Union player in the world without playing a game yet^They could've really used yawnion star Suaalii as well.
I think Samoa is missing there whole front row. May is probably the only one that makes the top samoan team.Congrats to England. Have looked classier and generally played within themselves outside of the Samoan sinbin period.

Tonga have a bit of that QLD spirit in them though. Can rise to the occassion and punch above their weight.I think Samoa is missing there whole front row. May is probably the only one that makes the top samoan team.

If Nz, Tonga and Samoa are at full strength Tonga would be the outsiders out of the 3 nations which is crazy.
England don’t have a bunker. They have a produce and a headset.England bunker>Aussie bunker
Except for the fact that Williams (I think it was) catches the ball on the inside shoulder of the leader runner and runs behind his back.obstruction imo..*edit* fair try after seeing replay
And no Aussie ref ever did the same for the Kangaroo'sEngland fully deserved the series win but that refereeing leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
Moore hammered Samoa in the first test and Kendall subtly got England through when things got tough in game two
Worth recalling that Moore (ref) and Kendall (video) got Wigan home in WCC versus Penrith in February.
I'm sure we would have heard your incessant whinging if they did.And no Aussie ref ever did the same for the Kangaroo's
Samoa came to wrestle and slow down the ruck, not surprising when you look at the size of them. Ref wanted an open game, they didnt learn.England fully deserved the series win but that refereeing leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
