Match Commentary
Samoa with all of the early running but the United States have grown in to the game as the half wore on. The Pacific Islanders are still the presumptive favourites but the Eagles have proved that they can score from anywhere on the field too.
As the national anthems get underway and we wait for Samoa's version of the Haka, the Siva tau, it's worth reiterating that the Eagles have never beaten Samoa in any of their four previous tests. A perfect time then to break the trend!
