[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 440865, member: 20956"] Agree with Me 1, we capable of beating SA and naming a weakened side against them would destroy any self belief the squad has. Almost like they'd be conceding defeat before a ball even gets kicked. For me the result against Samoa will definitely depend on how we do vs SA: If we beat them, confidence will be sky high and we're a damn good team when the players have some self-confidence after a string of good results, so imo we'll beat Samoa in that case. If we get slaughtered by the Boks, we're gonna struggle against Samoa and probably lose. If we lose to SA, but but in a very good performance, then the Wales vs Samoa game will be hard to call, Samoans have plenty of confidence, Wales will have some, but nowhere near what they would have after beating one of the Tri Nations. It'll be a tight scoreline either way, could be one of the games of the World Cup, just hope we don't do a '99 and hand Samoa 3 tries on a plate :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
