The Rugby Thread

[Paddingtonwolf]

And Samoa straight down the other end to score again from the kickoff - what a crazy couple of minutes of rugby!

Samoa v Scotland - an absolutely mental game at the moment

3 tries in 3 mins. Surely they cannot keep this up for long.

 

[Dinowolf]

If Scotland didn't know they were in for a proper game before, they do now.

What a game this is so far
Samoa 15-10 Scotland

 

[Parkins left foot]

Aren't the Samoans quite good at rugby 7s - this game is being played as if that is what is is!

Conceding lots of penalties though - cost them 3 points there

 

[Dinowolf]

Samoa score another try, but the ref missed a knock-on in the build-up. This was the ref for England v Fiji that opened the competition.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's lucky not to be a red card.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

23 a piece assuming Scotland add the extras. Cracking game this.

Samoa look like scoring tries at will here.

 

[Dinowolf]

Terrific first half from Samoa. Scotland have hung on well and will most likely carry the day, esp. if they keep possession better.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Scotland absolutely have to win this as well. Japan should dispose of the Americans fairly easily. Group A was the group of death but we could end up with three teams with 3 wins out of 4 in this pool as well.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Scotland doing the right thing taking the 3 points (well mostly) when on offer - gets the scoreboard ticking over in their favour & Samoa will give up more penalties within range

 

[Dinowolf]

The penalty count's getting ridiculous

 

[Dinowolf]

Scotland's possession has been far better so far this half.

 

[Parkins left foot]

This game is a great watch - not the most technical, more a chuck it about & charge into each other.

Samoan handling & physicality is superb.

Enthralling

 

[Dinowolf]

There was a knock-on by Scotland in the break by Laidlaw but not given.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Cracking game. Scotland are going to get away with this, but it has been mighty tight. Japan will be gutted.

 

[Dinowolf]

Scotland the Brave pays off with a try. That should be it.

 

[jd1981]

Scotland look dreadful to me there defence at times has been woeful.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Samoan try brings it back to a 3 point deficit with 2 mins to play - this Scotland restart is crucial, possession is key now

 

[Dinowolf]

Good game. Scotland scrape it.
