| Samoa aren't as strong as they could have been obviously with Roy and Steve Matai out , they have also not picked a large number of their top players that are available.
They will play hard though , you'd expect , they are under a lot of pressure to perform.
I was at the only Test between NZ and Samoa , It formed a double header with England and the New Zealand Maori.
Typically the first 20 minutes the Samoan's were all over the Kiwis , some no names made careers for themselves that night.
The way they started I thought Crikey we are going to Lose here.
The Kiwis went on to score 70 points.
A game you do not want to miss will be the likely replay of that Widerspool game when Tonga finish top of pool and play NZ in the quarter finals.
This Tongan team is the greatest they have ever assembled. They are capable of causing a massive upset.

Uncle Alibert pressed the wrong button, and just for good measure pressed it again before finally getting it right

| Fantatsic match and a pleasure to be there. Even though the Kiwis were running away with the game in the first half there was some really big hits that kept the match alive. That second half was something else though. This is up there with the NZ v Tonga game but in different ways. There was a good report in the programme about the Tonga game in 1995. Well done to both teams and all who attended the game to make it a game to remember.

IIRC it was referred to the video ref to check for a foul on the NZ player and for a possible knock on. Video ref called it as a try. IT guy pressed the wrong button. Queried by Silverwood. Wrong button pressed again. Reconfirmed by TH. Right button pressed. At no point (as has been reported in some media reports) was the decision ever changed/reversed/overturned. It was simply that the wrong button was pressed (apparently exactly the same thing happened in the very first game where Vidtech was used)

| I was feeling quite sorry for myself with man flu before this game but what a game to get me over it, the ground was bouncing in the second half and the Samoans looked made up with the support.
Great game!!
