[2014 EOYT] Canada vs Samoa

[rusty_lock]

Holy smokes did mcrorie get monstered

good idea but a little isolated

 

[Beerfalo]

McRorie loomed like a child being carried to bed.

 

[rusty_lock]

aimless box kick and now another kick at goal

 

[LittleGuy]

Hassler has been poor by his standards today, dreadful clearance kick early on, poor handling and a suicide pass to Pritchard. Pritch is a lot better than DTH at FB.

Another missed Samoan penalty but to be fair that one was a long kick.

 

[LittleGuy]

****, Trainor off for ten, really lazy intercept attempt. He's been anonymous up till now but that was also in large part a "team yellow".

Edit: uggghhh now another warning, Moose calling in the boys for a team huddle.

9-0, we are lucky to still be in this, thankfully Samoa haven't been all that impressive either.

 

[rusty_lock]

Oh God I thought he was going to the pocket again

 

[LittleGuy]

Oh FFS now an overkick on the restart. Canada simply dosen't look prepared, this is why the Namibia game should have been taken more seriously, no squad continuity. Phelan is on now, maybe that will be a boost of energy.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Don't often see the 9 not at the scrum.
Hell of a nudge that!
9 - 3

 

[rusty_lock]

Lol

 

[LittleGuy]

Great kick by McRorie!!!! Finally some life in the side.

9-3 for Samoa.

 

[psychic duck]

McRorie preferred as kicker to Pritchard now.

 

[Beerfalo]

Shocked Gordie is kicking instead of Pritchard but what a kick. Hopefully this helps boost the Canadians.

 

[rusty_lock]

Surprised Hearn didn't take the kick but well done to mcrorie

 

[LittleGuy]

That one was too far out for Pritch. If McRorie wasn't in the side, even Braid or Hearn might have taken it.

 

[rusty_lock]

So does anyone have any idea what Scott Hanson attack plan actually is? 'cause I can't figure out anything

9-3 at half time very much a lucky score!!

I have no idea what either side are doing in attack, not a half to write home about, Samoa have just made a lot less errors and kept their penalty count down.

The reinforcments have at least kept the comical errors down but we still aren't creating anything. I'd like to see Dala be subbed off for Thorpe at half time.

 

[rusty_lock]

I thought the scrum was much much better with Phelan

 

[psychic duck]

At least the game wasn't decided in 20 minutes like the last time these teams played.

We're getting owned at the break down. A little cohesion from Samoa and the halftime score is 20-3 not 9-3

Anyone have an idea about the crowd
