Baby Boks making a meal of this game!!! Haven't been watching live but they down 7-8, 50 minutes gone!!! WTF??

 

[SuperVarkie]

Come on man the bb not finishing off had so much opportunity to get some points on board but they fumble on crucial times.
Let hope they get it done

 

[sand_man]

Samoa have had 2 yellows against them yet after 60 minutes they still lead!!!

 

[SuperVarkie]

Thank you BB now 8/14

 

[MickeyD]

[MickeyD]

Good workout for the BB's.

Meet NZ in the semi!! Eish, what the chances of beating them twice at home? Would have preferred Australia...

The way the competition is structured sucks!!

Just hope the Baby Boks can pull it off.... again.... And if they do they'll have a tough final against an England side that's had a relatively easy path to the final...

Chuffed for the Baby Boks but how weird that they end up playing the Baby All Blacks again for a spot in the final :wtf:

Yeah it is strange. But that was the rules. Top team from every group, and then the 4th slot is made up of the second place team with the highest score.

So due to having the best PD was ranked 1.... thus we get to play the team finishing second with the highest score... NZ...

I really hope that we can trump them in the semi finals.
