RWC warmup - Ireland v Samoa
-
Samoa with a penalty right in front with three to go.
-
Sopoaga kicked it out in goal………
-
Huge opportunity wasted by the former All Black and Highlander.
-
Brilliant attack by Samoa. Another penalty.
-
This one Sops does set up a lineout 5m out.
-
This has been a great performance by Samoa and now a huge chance to make history. It’s going to the wire.
-
80 seconds to go. Samoa with a lineout 5m out.
-
But the throw is shite…..
-
Thirty seconds to go. Will Samoa get another chance?
-
Own worst enemy, kinda reminds me of another match..
-
Samoa doing their level best to throw this away.
-
Ireland running the clock down. Time over. Ball out.
-
Ireland 17 Samoa 13. Not much in that.
-
Good to see time wasting is still allowed.

Not one of those Irish players were on their feet at that last ruck.
-
Barnes’ interpretations in that second half will raise a few eye brows.
-
Where were the cards or even the warnings to Ireland for persistently killing the ball and stopping the opposition from playing?

Ireland lucky. If Samoa had a line out, they win that game. Having said that, McFarland was clearly played at in the air in that last line out. Should have been a penalty.
Samoa defence was immense and they exposed the Irish in a few areas tonight, defended against them in general play better than the ABs last year.
Ireland not as good as they and the public in general think they are.
-
Ireland got very lucky there
Barnes the latest hometown
Great to see & hear the French crowd giving Ireland the bird
Based on this past month, England will do very well to get out of the pool
