Mr Joubert is the best ref in the Rugby World but his preconcieved ideas that all tackles by Polynesian players especially Samoans are malicious has got to stop. It stopped the Test from becoming a contest. "We're not exactly playing tiddleywinks are we?" quoted by Tana Umaga. Thank you Sir for your taking my comments on board.
The Video ref comments on Farrells shoulder charge on Matt Giteau and Burgess high hit on Hoopers jaw was shocking. He initially recommended only a penalty and when Romain asked for more angles, he reluctantly gave it. Very inconsistent -->nit picking only unnecessary things and when they needed to step up and make decisions on important matters, strangely silent.

Bitching again, hey Hakwazeeeee!!!

The ref had nothing to do with your humiliating defeat. You were completely out smarted, out coached and outplayed by the Japanese ... in fact, you were given a hiding.

I must say the Polynesian sides have been very disappointing so far! I really expected a lot more from Samoa, Fiji and Tonga.

Do these boys even know the laws of the game? Hasn't anyone bothered to tell them that hitting an opponent with the shoulder without the use of arms is an infringement ... a punishable transgression ... ??

Year in and year out they play the same barbaric, primitive rugby. Always with the aim to hurt someone. Take someone's head off.

Listen ... slamming your opponent in the face with the knee is not an acceptable practice.  

Don't you realize that rugby has moved on from that? It's been decades since that kind of play was allowed. You guys should really get with the program and join the rest of the planet in playing the modern game.

Look at Georgia and Japan? They have embraced the modern game and have shown massif improvement since the last WC. It's awesome to see.

Yet the Polynesians play the same type of game they played 30 years back. They haven't evolved.

Really sad because there is some amazing talent in these boys.

Well played Japan!!! I really enjoyed watching the demolition job you guys did on the pathetic Samoans.

We can now put the South African victory over Samoa into perspective.

Turns out the Goats aren't world beaters after all!!

Samoa is just pathetic!!

 All the islands top players are playing overseas and getting citizenship in their adopted countries.
Just check the NZ and OZ S15 teams.
Who can blame them, they are just sportsman trying to make the most money they can before they get like Jannie and Greybeard.
Over the hill.
