[gingerjon]

Yes, England could and should have been smarter at critical times.

But ... what a performance and what heart from Samoa.

Semi finals are brutal and cruel.

[Chrispmartha]

Dreadful play from England 

[moorside roughyed]

What a way to go out

[Davo5]

Well we butchered that golden point,congratulations Samoa on a historic & deserved win.

[YCKonstantine]

Knock on and a forward pass. Handed them it on a silver platter.

Where was the forward? 

Clearly no forward pass there, any idea what the decision was?

[MZH]

Awful game management in extra time. Such a great opportunity blown against a beatable Australia. I just hope Samoa can really take the game to them next week.

What was Welsby doing! Two really stupid plays. Absolutely awful. 

[Midlands hobo]

What a drop goal to make. I der pressure second attempt 30+m. That's big stones.

Definitely.

Get out your own end . Rule number one. Got knows what we were doing there but overall we weren’t very good , in fact pretty dumb 

[Madrileño]

YAAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!

 

Get in there 

[Wendigo7]

Welp. Devastating loss to the tournament and for RL in England in general.

[Tommygilf]

First stiff opposition England have played since what, GB tour in 2019, and we were really poor.

[Chrispmartha]

So…. Were all Samoa fans from here on in!

[The Masked Poster]

Well that's me almost done on this board until the next round of internationals. It's been fun, I don't think I'll bother going to the final so if anyone wants a free ticket, give me a shout. (Subject to changing my mind) 

[JonM]

Brilliant game, brilliant atmosphere in the ground. Well done Samoa 

[Dave T]

If we're gone buy into the WC being our biggest asset. We need results and games like this. 

I'd rather it was the Aussies suffering heartbreak, but we'll done Samoa. 

It is what it is from an England point of view 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Well I still have a team to support next week. Come on Samoa.

[DavidM]

Same old same old 

[JDR]

Well done Samoa, narrowly the better team. Whitehead immense.

[ehbandit]

For everyone who’s saying where was the forward pass. From Tomkins at AHB. Blatant.

Not a chance, it will be a walkover.

[Live after death]

This was always going to happen with useless bully boy wane as coach picking  past it out of firm or never good enough players. At least the we have been sparred a another humiliation next week.
