Scotland should have this Samoan team on toast, but again heat might be a factor and particularly for this NH side.

Especially with Rey Lee-lo out. He was playing well before the YC and his attack is a class above his teammates (except TNW)

Yeah but really Ire vs Sco should have been closer, so who know? You'd hope that the Scottish team will turn up this time, if nothing else.

@shark Scotland looked awful in their last game and are missing Watson. If Samoa are gonna cause a boilover, now is their time. The Scots look soft up front and I'd be pressuring the breakdown and looking to hurt them in contact (without getting reckless) if I were the Samoans.

I feel that this game will be a lot closer than people give it credit for (hopefully an upset win for Samoa).

I want Scotland to beat Samoa and Japan so, somehow, we avoid Ireland in the quarters.

This game needs to hurry up and start already.
So many permutations in this pool with both Scotland and Samoa effectively playing to stay in the hunt for a QF.
Has turned out to be the true pool-of-death so far.

Bring on Ireland.

I’m predicting Scotland to win tonight but for Japan to beat Scotland.

Samoa could still go top of this pool. Hoping they pitch up properly and unleash some of the magic they're capable of. Would really spice things up!

A lot to play for.

@Billy-Webb I see what you're trying to do there...

Is that the collective wish coming from South Africa Billy?

I have a feeling he will ‘do a Kerevi’ tonight.

Go the Manu!!!
