RWC warmup - Ireland v Samoa
-
Crazy stat from Tullett (commentary team)
Since last RWC Ireland have played 37 tests
Samoa just 10, and only 1 against a Tier 1 nation
-
Samoa leading Ireland 10-7 at half time!
-
All Samoa at the start of the Second half, putting Ireland under so much pressure.
Ireland 7 Samoa 13 after 46 minutes.
-
Bayonne is a fantastic place to watch Rugby. Great atmosphere, noisy and knowledgable locals.
-
Samoa haven’t beaten Ireland since 1996. They lead Ireland 13-7 with 30 to go.
-
Good response from Ireland. Conor Murray keeps chasing a kick from Stockdale and scores. Ireland 12 Samoa 13.
-
Conversation missed. Samoa keep the lead by a point.
-
Lots of kicking in the last five minutes. Ireland looking sharper at the breakdown.
-
Great Samoan break.
-
Samoa deep on attack again,but it’s knocked on.
-
Huge performance from Samoa and giving so much entertainment to the Bayonne crowd. Ireland 12 Samoa 13. 20 to go!
-
Samoa lead the number 1 ranked side in the world!
-
These scrums are taking too long. If Conor Murray is taking this long to out the ball in, Wayne Barnes should give a free kick.
-
Tough penalty there against Samoa. Irish prop on the far side went down first.

Barnes reckons it was clear to him. Useless referee.
-
Hugely impressive performance by Samoa so far.
-
Again, Barnes gives a marginal penalty to Ireland.
-
Ireland score off the lineout drive. These marginal technical penalties are going to kill sides who try to play Rugby in their own half in the next six weeks.
