    Maybe not against the All Blacks as it was a close game the whole way but I thought they should've been ashamed of the second half effort against the Aussies allowing them to come back.

    Watching the replay now. Love the Japanese backs getting stuck into the mauls too. Not very common at all for tier 2 nations to out-maul the Springboks (on occasions, anyway).

    The game featured a lot of mauling though. Three tries in the first half, all from mauls.

    Samoa-USA kicking off in 10.

    USA have an interesting backline with Wyles and Scully. Don't think they will keep up physically though.

    US struggling at the breakdown so far. No real possession

    Really poor technique at the breakdown from them, giving away a lot of penalties

    These commentators are hurting my ears. Saying shit like, "oh why did the ref say no advantage and call them back when they were on the attack, I think the US would've wanted to keep playing there."

    Maybe because the US player was holding on you idiots!!

    Wonderful try.

    This McGinty seems to have no size at all - was on the floor for an age after running into the bak of a stationary Samoan - but can shift it

    Yeah I think he's around 178cm and 75kg. Really small for a modern day player.

    Alex Tuilangi probably bench presses that weight

    Hahahaha mate I can bench press that weight. Tuilangi probably does like 120

    19-8 with no platform from the forwards. Think USA are done here.

    Yeah Samoa looking like they might run away with this in the second half. Starting to really hit the ball hard.

    I reckon USA is at risk of going winless in this pool. Their match with Georgia will be a cracker.

    Droos - avatar bet that USA will not beat Georgia. 5 years.

    Ummm... Georgia are in pool C. USA have to play SA, Japan and Scotland.
