[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 447035, member: 20956"] I'm still not so sure on the Samoan back row, they're big strong ball carriers and they were blasting lighter Namibian pack (bar Jaques Burger) off the the ball in a lot of the rucks, but didn't seem they had someone in the same mould as Warburton or Brussow. Fa'asavalu for example had a great game against Nambia with some fantastic powerful runs but personally I don;t see him as the 'fetcher' of the back row. They were quite undisciplined when Namibia had the ball though, and were giving away penalties in situations where they were comfortable in defence too, will be interesting to see how they do against a team who're more of a threat in attack. One reason I'd have liked to see Halfpenny start, any infringement within 55m - 60m could potentially be 3 points for Wales with Halfpenny on the field. I think we can match their physicality though, gonna be some huge collisions on sunday! [/QUOTE]
