Go watch the game. Every ruck was climbed into with knees and elbows, followed by high tackles and neck chokes. Samoa has lost any respect i had for them. They knew they had nothing to lose by receiving banns, whereas SA would march on and had to keep within the laws. dirty buggers – well done to SA for outmuscling these fierce opponents, after such prepareation – SA just has to turn up to roll over the Aus pack. Australia has a pathetic pack, thats equalized by magnificent backs. it can work against an opponent that relies on their backs, but a forward dominated team like SA – are going to grind Aus to the ground.

Samoa climbed into every ruck and maul with elbows and knees – dived over Springboks, and pushed their heads – come now, if this was the final – SA would have thrown the sink at them – but the Boks need to keep within the laws to avoid suspensions. Samoa are dirty, and deserved to lose today. They just lucky the Boks didnt punish them further.
Say what you want, This Samoa performance would have toppled Aus – Forwards were strong, and would have run right over Australia. Boks can feel good going into Quarters.
