    He doesn't really play for Samoa in the Summer to be honest.

    Why is this match in such a huge stadium, masses of empty seats.

    I think it's a double header, SA vs Italy will be in the same ground.

    Will the Irish game be televised on an American channel?

    I'm not sure but the USA Rugby website has its own live streaming section so it might be on there.

    Le Roux starting, hopefully he'll star. Hopeful about Engelbrecht too. No idea why he's starting Vermaak though. Wouldn't start Strauss either, would opt for Ralepelle or even Maku from what I've seen.

    Harsh on Italy. Habana cruises in from 40m on turnover ball. Ball popped back on the SA side very suspiciously. Italy have had literally about 60% possession and 75% territory this half.

    And now looks like they might have another! TMO.

    That's the fundamental issue with Italian rugby writ-large isn't it. You could say that of most games they play. Until they get a decent set of half backs and a talented centre pairing they can have all the bleedin' ball they like!!

    After it being 20-10 with the Italians hammering them in the Bok 22 after about 55 minutes. Disappointing finish. Must be gutting for the Italian coaches to see their heads drop so quickly.
