It may feel like it took millions of years to take be prepared for this moment, mentally and physically; This is the rugby world cup. The cold English air whispers on the field. It's time to see who is the best. It's America vs Samoa. The Samoans are known as a very large tackle team but America has hidden skill. The game started and USA was charging at full speed. Chris bauman on team USA scores the first try. “This Samoa vs USA is very exciting to watch! So much attacking play. It's refreshing!" states Sandisile Gcezengana.The game was action packed and had fans hanging on to the edge of their seats. Ofisa Treviranus defends then gets a turnover and scores a try on SAM. There is now a tie, and who could win? Maggie Alphonsi states, “Good 1st half. USA looking threatening. Just need to retain possession.” Things were looking good for team USA during the first half but then they started plummeting. Right after half time America began to fall back and eventually lost 25-16. America and Samoa played a strong full-packed game. Sadly the World Cup winner can only be one team, and Samoa defeated USA, 25 tries to 16 tries. Comments are closed.
