Samoa v Scotland: Teams, Build Up & Live Match Thread
First topic message reminder :
Content from Kick and Chase
Can Scotland do the unthinkable and make it 3 from 3 down under? Here's when to watch:
Saturday 23rd June, 2012 15:30 WST, 03:30 BST
Friday 22nd June 22:30 EST ()
Apia Park, Apia - capital of Samoa

Andy Robinson keeps the 15 largely unchanged, with one forced and two unforced changes. Richie Vernon comes in for John Barclay who has left to arrange his wedding. Chris Cusiter has been 'rewarded' by Andy Robinson with his first start on tour at the expense of Mike Blair, who is likely to now start on the bench. Sean Lamont comes in to directly replace Max Evans at 14, preferred for his physicality.

Almost a Samoa breakaway try there, but good response from Scotland from the lineout

We have to find a way through this defence from this position, but it just seems like we haven't got a way to do it right now.

McVisser and Lamont are trying to score everytime they see the ball, a little more rugby and less white line fever.

Not liking all theses resets - means it's going to come down to one chance.
