how the hell did Fiji and Wales get a better ranking than Samoa, anyone who watched there game agains South Africa knows , Paul Honis screwed them ???
which pretty much put them on the back foot for the whole ternament. As a fellow NZ’er i’m disapointed and my heart goes out to them. oh well , now i’ll just have to cheer on my local team here in USA . who i also feel did very well, when you concider half the team is amitures and most gave up their jobs to rep their country .
