Clearly, or there would have been 25 penalties so far. 

But Samoa are laying on, flopping into tackles late, wrapping the ball seconds after the tackle has been completed.

It isn't even subtle.

That number 15 has blatantly been sent on to slow it down.

Ooh, that was close, but was forward.

England have been superb so far, in every respect. Against a very strong side. We have a World Cup in 2 years time, and this series is a vital stepping stone towards that.

What's amusing is their coaches whined about the interpretation in the first world cup game. So either they have incredibly short memories and no access to game recordings, or they're idiots.

Or arrogant. Nah, that can't be it.

exactly the same predictable  pointless disaster as the Tongan  Tour last year - unless we play the kangaroos/kiwis  in  a meaningful series  - DONT BOTHER !

Not every ruck has to be a 100 MpH clearing the tackle.

You watched the game this morning, the difference in speed and holding on is stark. Klein wouldn't have tolerated half of what Samoa are doing. I think Moore is only doing to make it a game.

I do think Moore has been calling the rucks too quickly. Obviously flops or second efforts should be called up, and there have been several of those.

Samoa desperately needed that bit of luck. Mariner intercepts to score.

You're a barrel of laughs. Just kill tests off then.

Could be a crucial 5 mins there. Clarke forward pass for a disallowed try then a Clarke shocker for an intercept! Shame, because he's been very good before that.

It's being referred like a kids game where you don't want too big of a score line.

Noble: Who threw the intercept ?

Isn't it his job to tell us ?

Noble and Davies are so dated aren't they?

Nice intercept from Mariner. England getting a bit cocky with the silly wide ball from Clark.

Pauga isn't a good kicker, but he plonks it over.

to throw an interception like that at this level baffles belief

No wonder England are winning, according to the BBC website, Samoa only have 3 players.

That is.. quite the interpretation you have of what we've seen so far this first half.
