[QUOTE="Saints1, post: 606855, member: 12575"] People have flocked to see Samoa though. I mean from a financial standpoint, not on the pitch. Ultimately the semi final is a double header with the England humiliation to the Kiwis on first so the attendance will be a double headed one anyway and therefore my "best for business" comment is largely irrelevant at this stage. As for the teams being better on paper, I'm not so sure. I had Samoa down as being superior and more likely to trouble the Australians than Fiji will (or indeed did a few weeks ago) but they're there on merit. They honestly caught me off guard, I was sure Samoa would win a tough game. It was definitely tough - the Fijian defence was fierce and it forced the Samoans into mistake after mistake. I wish them nothing but luck against the Kangaroos. I'm sure it will be better conditions in the game at Langtree Park a few weeks ago but I would expect the Aussies to overpower them in the end - and there's no shame in that. [/QUOTE]
