Did we win? With all the players switching allegiance I can't quite tell.
Haha.
50-0, biggest ever victory all be it only played like 6 times.

Was initially a bit worried, but speed out wide got them after boys in the middle did their job.

Tapani a machine, hit the line, bent it and could offload. (Can we get him to Warriors?)
Foran did bloody well at 9.
JFH just kept going and a great choice for captain.

Not sure Lui would have done a lot more for Samoa other than more on attack. Which they clearly missed.

Not a great result for the international game really.
