| Poor refereeing, seems to be a running theme.
Love seeing hard shots and biff, but this is ridiculous. Poor technique and a week late, France's discipline is brilliant considering, the crowd was silent untill that first late hit, Samoa England/Fiji will be fireworks!!

| Jesus Christ, over reaction or what. Whilst Samoa have been the worst offenders, both teams have been guilty of poor shots this half. I'm enjoying it, great game for the neutrals.

Oh, i'm enjoying it, likewise probably everyone else, however the referee needs sending home on this first half performance alone.

I didn't realise there had been 4 deliberate late hits on the samoan 6 and 7 with a spear tackle thrown in for good measure.

Excuse me JG, but the outrage bus is on tour and tonight's game is fully deserving of it. The discipline seen in this world cup, until this game, has been excellent.
You might like the cheap shots but when Hock is costing us three or four pens and a sin binning per game next season you will not be too happy mate.
It might look good but tonight it has been cheap and very late and quite possibly dangerous as that pitch seems quite hard (the ball is certainly bouncing) and some of the snaps have been side on so the hit player has either landed on his head (tip tackle) or had his head bounce on the deck after the body thuds down and if it hits hard enough the player won't be getting back up.

Even before the ban on the shoulder charge this season it was easy to differentiate between a great hit and a late hit. Tonight they have bee late hits and on the half backs, not a forward smashing another forward. The game hasn't gone soft it has removed a tackling technique that was brilliant when done properly but was often used as an excuse by thugs for cheap shots.
I miss a fair shoulder challenge but I don't miss the cheap shot merchants and they are being found out now as they don't know how to tackle (Hock? (why have we signed this penalty giver?)) and that is a good thing.

| Samoa are looking stronger now and French are losing far too much ball. Think the French are done and the score should start picking up now.

| Escare has been fantastic. Brent Webb seeming like a waste of money from Catalans, great talent at such a young age.

Am I right in thinking you reckon those 2 late hits were legal? We'll see what the disciplinary says. If they deem them fair I'll take their word.

All the above has always been part of the game, the game is played by big boys who make decisions themselves to get on the pitch and they get payed money to put themselves on the line. The game has been full of big hits some legal some not from both sides and the game is a far better spectacle 17 v 17

I'm not saying they weren't illegal, but the ref has placed them on report and sin binned Masoe. What more do you want him to do?
Oh and no try, no control on the grounding for me.

| The Samoan defence is too good, the French need to put a kick in behind them and force them to stop coming up so quickly.

It can be if deemed intentional.
Great Samoan defence, or poor French attack?
