[QUOTE="leicester, post: 131893"] Juggernaut, I love the way Islanders play and always like to see competitive teams from Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. I would hope to see a great match between Tonga and Samoa but my understanding was that Tonga were pretty poor at the moment and the Samoa would walk it. What makes you think that the match will be closer / more entertaining? Do you expect Tonga to lift themselves on the RWC stage? Have they got any classy players available that were not available in recent matches? I hope so too but I won't hold my breath. Despite their recent troubles, I would tip the Scots to be the ones to fight to the death. The likes of Jason White (if he regains fitness and form) and Sean Lamont just don't have the 'roll over and die' mentality. Besides, I remember the Scots actually putting up quite a fight (to start with at least) against eventual finalists Aus in the 2003 RWC. I don't expect Italy's pack to roll over either but they ain't got the same fight in the backs (except for Troncon). [/QUOTE]
