Surely Rod Davis won't play again, he was very poor.

Giteau is so bad, so predictable.

Forward pack was terrible though, scrum as always was poor.

Lots of work to do

Serves us right for fielding the team we did.

A test match is a test match and the best players should be selected.

Ouch... that was ugly... very very funny.. but ugly.. Aussie has no depth a few injuries and you wont beat ireland or wales, let alone England come world cup time.

It'll take more than a few injuries for a side like that one to ever get picked again.

we treated this like a pre-season trial just having a look at a few players but those player let themselves down very badly today

if we get a few injuries, we're screwed

f**ken oath. Australia picking their C team for a test match just showed they were going into the game expecting to win without having to fight for it.

Never again...

Wake up call???????? a wake up call would have only been winning by 10... you were blown off the park... if thats a "wake up call" aussie is in a LOT of trouble...

On the plus side Samoa will be right behind their team come WC time.

I reckon there will be a certain team in red from the northern hemisphere shitting themselves after watching that game. Samoa's defence was epic but they were lucky not to have more than one yellow card. The Aussie forwards just didn't want to play.

You could see the team change up a few gears with the inclusion of Genia and Beale. That's a good thing.

HAHHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Suck it Australia. Some of those players would struggle to get starts in ITM Cup teams. Who was that #20? Easily in the top 10 worst ever test players that bloke.

Go Samoa, Australia got dumped on. Huuuraah the legendary coach Dinky Di Deans.

Matt23, Parra Pride - weak as piss the both of you. Apologies if you are not Aussies, f**k you if you call yourself Australians.

lol, tiddums, please. Those blokes are laughing at Australia, which is much the same as how Australia treated the test match - as a joke.

Glory glory to Manu Samoa.

Davies just looked scared of that other winger. You could see when Beale came on that he was a class above the rest of those shithouse backs we had.

I can't believe that Elsom is the captain. It's like Gidley for NSW the last few years (and Clarke in the Aussie cricket team) - deserve to get dropped, but for some strange reason he is the captain. Get rid of him to the bench, Higginbotham starting, such a better player.

Also, Ashley-Cooper sucks. If he is our outside centre in the world cup, we have no hope.

I'd be laughing if I wasn't an Aussie.

One of them is a Scot. Fair call.

being samoan myself, i must say that i am very happy. i did feel that after the end of year tour last year that we have the personnel to compete against good opposition until i saw their performances against tonga and fiji before this match where they were nothing short of awful although it has to be said that there is a major difference between the strongest samoan side and a half-strength samoan side. i can't say that i saw this coming but well done to them and hopefully they'll be competitive come world cup time.
