Wow! What a match.
Samoa, you proudly and bravely came ever-so-close to cause another major upset.
It took England 73 minutes in the final stanza, with Samoa down to 14 men, then and only then, England scored the winning try.
Every Samoan must be tremendously proud. Hold your heads up high.
Rugby can be so cruel. England just lucky on the day. You escaped 18-17 by the skin of your teeth.
God-willing, the future for Tier Two Pacific nations will shine brighter in the not-too-distant future. South Pacific rugby is coming of age.
Vinaka vakalevu brave and gutsy Samoa for the sublime performance.
The 2027 RWC in Australia cannot come fast enough. God-willing, we get to lift the Webb Ellis RWC Trophy, historically.
It is possible.
