Big game for both teams, Samoan power versus Japanese flair, should be a good game.

5 minutes no score, Samoa all the play so far, and early forward replacement.

Samoa showing what happens if you don’t totally commit to a rush defence

And Japan score a well taken try 5-0, kick to come, what a kick! Japan 7-0

Looks like Samoa in for the long haul, wearing down the Japanese through attrition, that's a hell of a lot of tackles Japan have already madeSlick wrote: Thu Sep 28, 2023 7:18 pm Samoa showing what happens if you don’t totally commit to a rush defence

Lineout is an uncertain 5 (not converting from out there) v certain 3.
Dumb.

You mean apart from Japan's 2 lineouts being 45 degrees sideways?

Oh man, so close. Lovely reverse pass. Clever.

Yeap, some of these teams have forgotten there's no second chances.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Thu Sep 28, 2023 7:24 pm Lineout is an uncertain 5 (not converting from out there) v certain 3.

It's sometimes/often difficult to reconcile the fact that you are part French

And finally Samoa take the penalty Japan 7 - 3

France tried that "Gallic flair" for decades whilst ignoring the basics and got precisely nowhere bar the odd spectacular win. There's a time to be flash and a tight game early on is not it!Tichtheid wrote: Thu Sep 28, 2023 7:28 pmTorquemada 1420 wrote: Thu Sep 28, 2023 7:26 pm Blindside and hail mary pass from that scrum position?

Not entirely sure on Japanese throw in to the lineout, doesn't look straight.

Been horribly squint every one but Peyper has decided to ignore lineouts now to add to his ignoring of breakdown offences.Jethro wrote: Thu Sep 28, 2023 7:31 pm Not entirely sure on Japanese throw in to the lineout, doesn't look straight.

Great Japanese try, and a yellow card to Samoa no. 9. Turning into a mare for Samoa at the moment.
Japan 17-3, kick from sideline.

What was the yellow for, his illegal entry at the ruck on the right before the score, or back chatting Peyper?

Japan lucky to get away with a professional foul to take out the Samoa winger.

Yellow review, based on Tonga precedent, should stay yellow.

You have 2 guys like Lee and Taufua in the Samoa back row and granted they are getting on, but so is Leitch, but those 2 have been invisible.
