Top again for a fleeting moment! I don't know what everyone else thinks, but maybe a number of games played next to each persons' points to make things easier to keep track of?

Could work. I just know I screwed this one up totally. My pre tournament picks were way off.

Four of my five teams are through to the next round.

It should start getting interesting from here.

People are very positive in this thread that Scotland will win Samoa.

They really should. Samoa has been the most disappointing team of the tournament (apart from England) when it comes to living up to expectations. They really haven't performed and now with Alesi Tuilagi suspended, they've lost some strike power out wide. Nanai-Williams can't carry this team on his own.

From a MyBB RWC comp perspective, I'd love nothing more than Samoa to put 50 past the Scots, but I can't see it happening.

What I don't get about the islanders this year is that they really picked up their discipline and sets over the past 2 years. It was very evident in their rugby tournaments that they will be hardened competitors in the 2015 RWC, but then came the August/September tours and they dropped their potential. Shell shocked…

The Samoans aren’t even competing in the rucks…

Tuilagi isn’t that big loss as they have younger and more proven wings playing at Northampton, Pisi and Autagavaia, both which are more disciplined. Looking at this, all the Pisi brothers may start against Scotland. In my opinion, this ban on Tuilagi will only do them good. They also won their last match against Scotland in sunny SA which may give them a physiological advantage.

Samoa have nothing to lose in this match and will likely play to leave with their pride intact. In the case that they play like Tonga did against the Los Pumas and manage to keep it going 80 minutes then they will win.

We will only have the answer when that match concludes.
