    Get Henshaw off the pitch.

    20 points in the last 20 and we can be happy with the game.

    Lineout has been better since we kept throwing to the front to win the ball and not throwing hail Marys to the back

    Huge impact from Herring and Ryan.



    Am I imagining things or has Beirne really bulked up lately?

    Surly that conversion block down was illegal… no way the Samoa player covered the ground from when the run up began ?

    Playing with a lot more structure now, much tighter and more accurate. Set piece works and we're scoring.

    That conversion was an embarrassment at this level.

    Herring has made a big difference

    Who did Ringrose come on for?

    Getting bad flashbacks of Ireland old = no idea what to do with a penalty advantage

    Coombes would have scored a try 5 phases ago there

    Murray is killing us here. Our ruck speed inside 5 is making life far too easy for Samoa.

    I cannot believe Murray is still on

    I get that the conditions aren't great, but could we occasionally try and use the backs after sucking in a few numbers? Or with advantage?

    Needless from Doris given the pressure we'd had them under - would have been awesome if he hadn't been blocked!

    Samoa offside defensive tactics being enabled by Barnes…constantly…

    James Ryan sidestepping a Samoan.

    Incredible.

    Vastly, vastly more shape in attack here.

    The backs not ready for Casey not taking an age at the base

    There’s been a few of their kicks where the chase was almost 10m ahead of the kick - how neither touch judge has called an offside is ridiculous

    Ringrose doing more in 6 minutes than henshaw did in 60

    Scrum has been excellent since the replacements came on.

    Samoa were going backwards and they were forced to kick in a bad area.

    Fair play to Samoa. You can only play what’s in front of you! Murray really made a balls of that period on their line, no tactical thinking just ponderous shovelling. Samoa could nick this.

    just in case we think everyone who came on is superman, remember that the samoans were always going to run out of gas in the last Q

    Harsh turnover there, he's on one leg for most of that. Absolutely unforgivable to give up 10 metres after though.
