    And to think Samoa don't partake in any Tier 1 competition on a early basis.

    Wow Samoa are really a tough side, even though Italy are such an infuriating team to watch, second week in a row they have dominated for large parts of the game only to end up getting a trouncing...if only they had Samoa's backs.

    Should be interesting game next week South Africa v Samoa, even though home advantage should see Samoa through.

    Fair play to Japan also, really important breakthrough victory for them!

    Samoa have been some success story over the past few years. Interestingly they have both Scotland and South Africa in their 2015 World Cup group.

    How come the Islanders dont do so well overall? They always seem like they have what it takes to be up there with the best...skill, size, creativity..

    Finance, politics (fiji), trouble getting players released etc.

    Playing for Edinburgh probably didn't help his case.

    Got done over in last world cup with games being very close together and Nigel Owens reffing their match against SA , with Wales in their group made no sense , their team management were also on a jolly over there and took the piss big time, seems to have changed now. Great team love watching them .

    I thought he was sticking around for the Rugby Championship? I might be wrong but it would make sense, he didn't play in it last year. Would be a good sendoff a la Roncero.

    Is it usual for the ref to ask the out half what side hes kicking to on a restart?
    haven't played in a long time buy of dont remember that being common.

    The American commentary for USA v Tonga is pretty funny.

    Thought this too. Remember our old coach telling our 10 to spread it both ways to keep the opposition guessing.

    I would think sexton switches a fair proportion of the time too.

    Its probably for the ref to know hes not going to get in the way, but sure all he had to do its stand off the line

    Is that the same ref from the ire v USA game that's now doing the tonga game? He loves scrumtime!
