Samoa to turn over a poor Argentina and come second in the pool? Argentina playing knockout rugby already to bounce back? This match will be compulsory viewing.

This could be a good one.

Early kickoff for the only Friday game is dumb as hell - why is this one not an 8pm kickoff?
This should be a good matchup, but gonna be in work/driving home for most of it

Just noticed that. Suits me in the very specific situation that I'm up at 5am tomorrow but so stupid otherwise.

Surely Argentina cant play as badly as they did against England. They played well in the Rugby Championship

 

[HenryChinaski]

My best guess is an angry Argentina win this reasonably comfortably (15 - 20 points) but whoever really knows these days...

Same on Wednesday with a contender for match of the round

Ita V Uru a contender match of the round? Really?
There’s a potential dress rehearsal for the final in Pool B, 2 tier 1 countries playing for survival in Pool C, and a QF place likely at stake in Pool D.

The gap between Argentina and Samoa is probably similar to that of Italy and Uruguay. Samoa is about as good as Japan. I don’t expect this to be that much of a game unless Argentina absolutely bottle it.

Luckily, based on the England game, they are more than capable of doing that

French equivalent of US daytime soap operas? . Can’t bump Mom’s shows.

Love Cheika, love Contepomi. Up Samoa.

 

[TommiG88]

Terrible decision

 

[ncurd]

Red card in 35 seconds a record?

****'s sake

Is there a single rugby viewing timezone on the planet that won't find this kickoff time detrimental? Pre-dawn in Oceania and mid-morning in South America for example.

Rain might hamper Argentine game plan, especially if they leave their hands and brains in the locker room like last time. Whereas Samoa are really conservative and simple so should execute in the wet.

Samoa 23 - 16 Pumas
