It is one of international rugby's greatest upsets - 100-1 World Cup outsiders Manu Samoa crushing one of the favourites, Australia's Wallabies.

The small Pacific Island nation - population 180,000 - was celebrating hard last night after their team's 32-23 win in Sydney.

Unfortunately Australia now has to win the world cup to save face.

They were meant to lose to SA or NZ in the Tri Nations to bounce back strong for the RWC, now they have to go out to win the Tri Nations to regain credibility. In the meantime SA and NZ will be displaying absolutely nothing of their RWC plans on field and will be quietly laughing at the Aussies trying so hard

That first samoa try brilliant entertainment there

Lightspeed · 18th July 2011, 13:27

Awesome.

This does not change the fact their starting 15 have some backline weapons, a powder puff forward pack and they always lift about 78% when playing us...oh and they are fucked come RWC if they have any injuries

And when we meet them in the semi-finals we'll be playing a fullback at centre and a centre at fullback and one of those Aussies will run straight through our defensive line. Again.

with our current injury count at #15, this does seem likely.

Why not play a fullback at 10....we've done that before...

Ab · 19th July 2011, 13:31

Yeah, and when it's Nick Evans, it works. Oh that's right, we let him go.
