Stargazer

Hoping for an entertaining match. Samoa should win this, considering they're much higher in the World rankings, but Chile may surprise everyone.

Stargazer

Oh oh, there's the "check, check"

Great gave away 2 penalties . Stupid

Stargazer

Stupid from Seuteni; fortunately no head contact, so only a yellow for a late no-arms tackle.

Stargazer

First try of the game goes to Chile!

3 - 7 Chile

mikedogz

Poor quality turf for scrums.

MiketheSnow

Samoa going for the BP instead of driving into the heart of Chile

Poor tactics

Bones

Commentators using Frank Bunce representing Samoa to highlight how great the new representation rules are, probably isn't the best example.

He's a kiwi with Niuean heritage right?

Poached from Auckland.

PS. Commentary is shite.

Victor Meldrew

Looking forward to this game, but it's just a little bit crap.

MiketheSnow

No attempt to wrap in that low tackle from Samoa
Penalty

Bones

@MiketheSnow Jesus saw you edit that post Mike. They all look the same eh

Probably not as bad as the other night when I think Rupert talked about Eddie Jones' lot taking on Japan this weekend.

Samoa will be lucky to get out of the pool based on this performance

That guy on Rugby Pass saying they’re going to the SF is looking more and more like a berk

Bones

Samoa's handling is club level.

MiketheSnow

Williams needs to have a word with SAMOA

Killing the ball every opportunity

MiketheSnow

Samoa need to play TEST rugby

Bones

Mapusua giving advice to the ref from the coaches box is the funniest shit I've seen so far this world cup.

MiketheSnow

Chile running some really good lines

Far better coached

Bones

@MiketheSnow yeah and running hard too eh. Halfback has brilliant distribution.

Bones

Chile exposed there

MiketheSnow

Hugely disappointing half from Samoa

Lucky to be going in to oranges with the lead

They don’t look match fit

Samoa 19-10 Chile
Halftime

Good contest though

Stargazer

That was a nice try. Finally.

MiketheSnow

That’s more like it

MiketheSnow

Samoa have woken up

Far more accurate with the basics

BP secured

Samoa 36-10 Chile
53 mins

Stargazer

Oh, there we go .. head contact.

Stargazer

Yellow for Chile's reserve hooker, under review.

Jailbreak7

ARs are not winning over any fans to the game. Sheesh there was nothing in that. AR determined to YC someone.

Stargazer

The Chilean hooker's yellow stays yellow.

Nepia

So, players are getting carded now due to injury, not due to the actual actions.

Jailbreak7

This bunker system review is shambolic
Chilean review stays a yellow but ours was upgraded? Total BS

Stargazer

Enari's yellow also stays yellow. It's a pity they can't downgrade a yellow to a penalty, because that's what should have happened here.

Jailbreak7

@Stargazer Yes exactly. Like that idea. Downgrading completely.
Gardiner seemed intent on getting the player carded , like he needed his moment on camera.
