Samoa are getting better the more games they play together and it's a very weak Australian side.
Australia should win, but an upset isn't impossible (If I'd have said that two weeks ago even I would have thought I needed a mental health checkup).

I really don't know, but a playoff would be fairer, even though it gives NZ a huge advantage in the final.

IMO in the unlikely scenario that Samoa wins by a margin that levels them points wise with England then it should simply come down to the head-to-head record. I know that sounds easy to say as that means England would qualify but surely it any two teams were involved it seems the simplest way? Whoever won the group game between the two, qualifies, simple.

It will be that or points for i would say.

No way there is a play off imo.

Goes on tries scored doesn't it?

Samoa by 2

The Aussies will win comfortably in my view. I think Samoa gave everything against the Kiwis last week, and the last minute defeat will have broken them a little.

It goes on tries scored ......... currently England have scored 2 more, so we need Samoa to win by less than 8, or by 8 whilst scoring only 1 try ......... if they win by 8 whilst scoring 2 tries, I have no idea what happens.

I'm only guessing but I think it will go on the result between the two Nations therefore England go through.

Every patriotic Englishman needs to support a Toa Samoa victory over Australia --- but by 1 to 7 points only. That way England goes through to the final.

Now that you've told all of us patriotic Englishmen what we need to do the big question is what should an annoying fake Frenchman support?

If only Jean were a real Frenchman. Then all we'd have to do to get rid of him is vote UKIP.

Id love Samoa to win not just for England but for the INT game in General

Remember they are playing Australia

I think this is where the Aussies stand up unfortunately I can see Sheens having them well drilled, I can see a big win for them

Great try by Castleford's Ben Roberts.

Not looking good right now for the chances of the much improved greatest England team since sliced bread because the worst Australian team in living memory are two scores ahead of Toa Samoa after just 12 minutes on the clock.
