Towards the end of the Game, even the Scottish fans were cheering on the Samoan side. It's sad to see them not gain any points... but they played well against Scotland, giving the game their fullest right up to the last second, which made the game, a great one to watch. Well done Samoa ! And of course, well played Scotland.

There's been a lot of comment on previous threads about the Japaneseness of the Japan team, and some of the comments suggest some people take the idea seriously. This game had its own interesting takes on nationality. Sean Maitland was playing for Scotland while his cousin was playing for Samoa. Both New Zealand born, but with "half Samoan" mums or dads and Scottish grandparents or something like that. I think many here will generally smile at these oddities of nationality. Is the question, do I want my kids to play for Japan or Scotland or whoever, or do I just want my kids to play?
I'm on the side of having some fun.
