Two dumb plays in the last minute there giving Scotland an easy 3 points there.

@stargazer They love making things tough that's for sure.
-
This new Samoan halfback can't pass for shit.
-
@african-monkey Hopefully, for him and Samoa, it's just beginner's nerves. They don't want many more of those hospital passes.
-
Lets go SAMOA!!!
-
Crucial kick here for TNW.
-
@african-monkey Samoa definitely still in it!
-
@stargazer Argh! That try should seal it for the Scots.
-
Not over just yet!
-
Full time: Scotland 44 - 38 Samoa
Great entertaining game. Scotland playing some fast footy, but it worked better in the first than in the 2nd half. Samoa had a better 2nd half, and didn't seem to have the discipline issues that they've often shown in the past. Well played!

@stargazer The 5 minutes before and halftime proved costly for the Samoans who I thought played the better rugby today. Still, good to see some pride shown from Samoa especially after going 32-10 down, something which has been missing for a long time.
