Imagine Samoa could hold onto their players?

Do you think NZ/OZ have purposely kept the Pacific Islanders out of Super 15 and Tri-nations rugby so they can continue to pillage their resources?

Edit: I would give my left testicle to see one season of a full strength Samoan test XV!!

There are actually only 2 people in this AB team who wasn't born in New Zealand. Fekitoa (Tonga) and Kaino (American Samoa).

Poms stepped up their game. Much better so far by them in the 2nd half.

Surprised only 2. A lot more of Samoan/Tongan/Fijian descent but that's not quite the same is it?

It's a bit ridiculous how the English shouting keeps making the ref give them a free kick. He's too influential.

Oh no... Boks not looking too good in the first 20.

Wales way more direct and the rush defence working very well for them.

What we feared most. Ruan Pienaar is on. Even worst, he is at fly half.

And the Welsh are moering our terrible defence hard.

Not a fan of RP, but can be really do much worse that MS?

And yes... What happened to our defence?
