Samoa v Wales
-
Great vision and skills from Anscombe.
5m scrum to Wales.
Great defence from Samoa, terrible decision to chip from Davies and Samoa clear their line.
Should have been patient and gone through the phases.
-
Fair play to Samoa, always looking to create space and put the man away despite tge rubbish conditions
-
Ref MOTM
Having a blinder -
Elias hasn't thrown one in straight all night, but that's the touch judge's problem
-
Ref taking no shit at scrum time.
Samoa not listening / learning
Samoa 10 - 9 Wales

39 mins goneScrums are solid on Samoan ball.. But I think they're trying too hard to dominate the Welsh scrum
-
Shocking kick at the hooter to try to get the ball off the park falls straight into the Samoan wingers hands.
Samoa go through the phases, but resolute defence from Wales forces Samoa to go for the drop goal which limps wide.
Samoa 10 - 9 Wales
Half-timeA half for the die hards
-
Samoa's poor discipline keeping Wales in it with the front row being the worst culprits at scrum time and around the field.
-
Shocking kick from Samoa and the earth tilts on its axis as a NH team scores from a turnover.
Steff Evans over for the try in the corner.
Samoa 10 - 14 Wales

Just Tusi Pisi doing his usual rubbish.
-
Poor breakdown defence from Wales and Samoa don't need a second invitation.
Hooker in the left corner.

Manu Leiataua giving away yet another penalty.

Tusi Pisi you idiot.
-
Aerial ping pong interspersed with some beautiful tactical kicking from Sam Davies resultsbin a 5m scrum for Wales in front of the Samoan sticks.
Scrappy and directionless.
Zero dynamism.
Playing for the penalty / drop kick.
And all of a sudden, patience pays off.
Slick handling puts Steff Evans over in the corner for his second try.
Samoa 17 - 19 Wales

Tremendous defence and counter rucking from Wales stops Samoa on the Wales 22.
2 mins to go.
-
The ref just missed a blaytant offside from a Wales player there. Awful reffing not that Samoa deserve to win.
