EOYT: Canada v Samoa, 09/11/2012

[RWC2011Fan]

So what's the score now? IRB doesn't allow streaming in New Zealand since we apparently have TV coverage of it....on Sky.

22-0, all of Samoa's points I think were in the first 22 minutes.

Agreed CDN-Rugby only highlight so far has been Barkwill at the lineout from the forwards. Spanton was right in his analysis at HT, bizarre decisions made in the attacks.

22-0 after the first half.

Is this the consequences of missing your top players? No doubt Samoa is much deeper but maybe the morale factor needs to be taken into account.

Ionno but I need a beer

It's even more painful because Cudmore and Sinclair are missing for incredibly silly reasons!!! Call Cudmore up for this game and sort out Sinclairs visa!!!!

A bit patchy by us for that last 10-15 minutes.

Su'a and Pisi controlling the game well. And Tuifua is just bossing the Canadian forwards around.

 

[LittleGuy]

Dear god.....

 

[CDN_Rugby]

Good start, oh wait... not so much.

 

[Super Sub]

Nice. Hat-trick for young Lilomaiava on debut.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is Lilomaiava an amateur player?
On Wikipedia his club is listed as a Samoan club, but I don't know whether he's played any ITM cup, or Sevens etc.

Fantastic début for him though.

 

[Canucks]

I might go play rugby challenge. On hard. With offloads set to high. Germany vs team Lomu.

Would be a much more even game.


Pft I'm actually going back to pub.... after the game.

Yes, he plays his rugby in Samoa. He's part of the 7s team.

Come on boys!!!!!! Lets try and get this into respectful territory, maybe Crowley should start getting some of the bench on even this early we need a spark....uggh White WTF with the kick.

No kidding about the kick...

This is Sean White encapsulated in one moment, a brilliant play to make a break which could bring Canada into the match a little and than totally wrecked with a brain fart. Samoan kicker is punishing us today as well.

 

[LittleGuy]

I was just about to say Blevins was the only player that impressed me so far for Canada and now he gets a yellow ARGGGGHHHH....

 

[Canucks]

I don't want want to pick on white but if you look at highlight reel, white will be in the picture in every try.

 

[Canucks]

And rugby once again proves how behind the world it is.

The only sport where headshots are considered good.

Not trying to be sour grapes but just saying rugby is so far behind on headshots.

 

[LittleGuy]

Paris WTF!!!! We can't even do a tap and go now.

Samoa have laid down a big message. If Wales were planning on playing a weakened team next Friday, they may well struggle.

I thought this would be closer as Samoa weren't so dominant in the PNC, but they have totally dominated Canada.

As Canucks and Little Guy have both pointed out, Canada's side simply looks like boys against men and come off worse at nearly every contact.

It's time for the Friday ****heads; you know the drill: Biggar in! Biggar out!
