[QUOTE="aucklander, post: 732315, member: 50941"] Very proud of the way the Samoan boys played today against the All Blacks. Both teams were rusty as you would expect being the first test match for the year. AB's will come back stronger and will take a lot out of this game, they're stacked with talent and are favorites for the WC. Gone are the days where the AB's were piling on the points against Samoa due to clubs not releasing players etc. With the Samoa/Pacific teams learning their trade overseas this makes it possible for them to keep the scoreboard a lot closer as most would expect, Samoa's line outs/mauls/rucks and 50/50 scrums against the All blacks was a true testament on what they're learning in the UK under good clubs/management. For me it doesn't really matter what team the AB's put out on the field they will always find a way to win - Winning culture. Samoa and South Africa to go through in their pool. I hope today's game challenges other tier 1 nations to travel to the Pacific Islands. Thank you ALL BLACKS for making it happen. Respect. [/QUOTE]
