Alarm clocks done it's job.
Showered, coffee slurped and excited about watching Joe.
Narrow England victory for me.

sean long samoa assistant coach????

Spotted first black & white shirt behind England posts just before kick-off.


Joe got buried his first carry.

Is anyone else tv seem out of sync with the sound by a second or two?

Yep. Quite annoying when you know we have knocked on before even seeing it. You get to be disappointed twice!

We look shaky. Can tell if the boys just get some composure they'll run in a ton of trys, but as I'm typing this Farrel has knocked on 1st tackle after receiving a penalty!

Westerman isn't been allowed to play the game that gave him such a good year at Hull.

Getting outmuscled.

Joel Tomkins!really. I wonder what he has done to justify a place.

Great hands Matty Smith get in there

Burgess Bros have been great the last ten.
Always got options when both your half's have a kicking game.

Easy win if we can stop giving the ball away otherwise we will struggle 2nd half and could easily lose. clarke didn't look good so I hope he is OK

At last a real 6 and 7 .

Jesus...the warm conditions are hindering us as not used to it.......only looked good since Burgess bros on.......put them in 2nd row instead of Farrell and Tomkins,club colours mean these 2 average players get picked.

Who is the 7........Smith is bang average.

I think you'll find England improved after the 'bang average' Westerman was taken off for Tom Burgess.

No arguments from me........

Thought Westerman was going pretty well to be honest, despite playing a role that isn't his game at all.
He missed a tackle for their first try, but the effort by the Tomkins brothers to keep him short wasn't much better. He was making good metres and got very involved in defence.
Think his attempted offload was a good decision just very poor execution.

Has Westy got changed?
Samoans tiring.

Are they......God awful defence.........serve them right if they lose

Trying their hardest to lose it.
Should be cruising.

Westy back on, with a nice run.

Westy was better than the "banged up" o'louighlin though

Told you they were tiring.

Total joke England
