Great win for Manu Samoa. Good to see them play consistent rugby over the past two years. Got to give credit where it is due though. Ever since Tom Coventry been on board Samoa forward pack has become more formidable in scrum time and set pieces. Add Pat Lam to the coaching staff and you got some good heads there.

If you look at the overall team there is no real individual brilliance probably for the exception of Kahn Fotuali’i and Taiasina Tuifua (number 8). It was a great team effort that blew Wales off the park in almost every facet of the game.

Makes for a thriller of a game this weekend against the French.

I think that it is a racist attitude to declare that your team was woeful against the brown eyed guys who only get one twelfth of the votes at the IRB who are BETTER THAN YOU!
