It was right there for Samoa to win it, but that dropped ball 5m out cost them.
The reffing overall was poor. Thought in the first half Samoa were getting a lot of leeway at the ruck. Then a number of calls (and non-calls) went England’s way in the second 40.
Sopoaga superb game.

If you fancy coming round to deal with the full blown tantrum when I told him he can't watch the Ireland game feel free.
Just watching the highlights. That first England penalty for a “check” on Farrel on the chip through was a joke. Are you supposed to actively get out of the attackers way now so they can score??
England disallowed try for forward pass, get awarded a penalty instead - I rewound 5 times and couldn’t se what for? Maybe the highlights missed it?
Jeez, I know Samoa were a man down, but you can’t really whinge about the ref when you concede a try like that to lose

Tackling a man off the ball.

Yeah I heard that, but I couldn’t see it?
@MajorRage said in RWC Week 5: England v Samoa:
Yeah fuck you England how dare you play to the ref and try and win the game.
Some of you guys are completely unhinged.
Sounds like you need to change your name back to MajorPom.
@ACT-Crusader said in RWC Week 5: England v Samoa:
Sopoaga superb game.
One of his missed kicks for touch was crucial in helping England get points. That first easy missed penalty would have helped too.
But certainly the rest of his game was far superior to Leali'ifano.

Here we go, @MajorPom is back in the house
Suggestion that I would support England over Samoa is peak unhinged.
I just don’t get the fuck England etc as that seems pathetic.

If you don’t get it that I’m wondering if you are actually English tbh 
(Didn’t watch the game myself, just saying…)
Shame Samoa butchered that breakaway in the last minute, that would've been a superb ending to the game.

What kind of monster are you?
@mooshld said in RWC Week 5: England v Samoa:
My 9 year old just got up and said fuck England and fuck this ref. In front of his grandmother. Then stormed up stairs saying yeah yeah I know time out but seriously fuck both of them. Hard to punish him when that's pretty accurate.
Sounds like he needs a Grumpy Young Man thread?

Maybe I'm not pommy enough to notice all the fuck England stuff.... isn't it more fuck the ref? There is some other posters that get sensitive about the crusaders like that too eh

But New Zealand hasn't known how to play to the ref for years so how can we appreciate it done so well by another team?!

I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate, there seems to be a lot of AFL "fans" in this place ...

We were out last night and didn’t get to see the game and won’t bother today. The outcome was just so predictable. We are a shit show under Borthwick.

Commented on how much Carley missed for both sides; how Fiji still had the chance to win but blew it; and how Carley should be sent home
It’s all there in black & white

You surprised me with your restraint. A lesser poster might have looked at that Getty image and remarked "Boy, Tintin has really let himself go, hasn't he?"
Have a bit of time for Ross Tucker ... like him though am not sure how you measure this ...
@Bones said in RWC Week 5: England v Samoa:
Oh fuck off. No clear and obvious knock on. Fuck this shit
Watching it back now.
This is a picture of a man about to be fucked up the arse by his TMO, and knows there is no lube left ...

Had there been no TMO there would have been no complaints. Progress?
@pakman said in RWC Week 5: England v Samoa:
Anyone seen a clip of Samoan yellow card? Heard Faz was complaining about a tackle with the shoulder.
Lol that would be funny. I'll let you know once I get there
Gotta say, that disallowed try was controversial but Sopoaga has missed important kicks for touch, which aren't helping.

Farrell was taken off the ball around 56 minutes but no angle showing head contact
