Junior Kiwis v Junior Kangaroos is live on Fox Sports Plus (Channel 505) on Saturday at 5pm. You have to press the red button. I won't be home so unfortunately I won't be able to record it so hopefully it will be replayed at another time.

So with Jarryd Hayne quitting to pursue an NFL career, I would expect either Chambers or Moylan to come in.

Munster and Asofa-Solomona featuring in this one, a glimpse into the future I hope.

So disappointed that Samoa didn't quite get up there, fantastic effort from them though.

I really enjoyed both games yesterday. I was barracking hard for the Samoans to get up. If there was ever anyone we could recruit to add starch to our forward pack it would by Mose Masoe (I know out of our price range and contracted to St Helens).

I wasn't surprised to see the Kiwis win, they are a good team and Aussies have a lot of players out. I was surprised Kiwis were at such long odds to win match at start of night. Our Kiwi boys played well particularly Kev and Jesse. I also thought Adam Blair was back to his form at the Storm. The Aussie philosophy of not picking props backfired. Woods, the only genuine prop, didn't do much and neither did Thaiday. Would have been better off picking Tolman in squad. For next week it looks like we will have to make do with Klemmer. Farah also showed he is overrated, did nothing last night. It is also funny that the Aussies usually have 3 or 4 fullbacks in the team and then last night we were down to one and GI went off. Usually we have Billy, GI, Hayne, Boyd.

Did anyone watch Samoa vs New Zealand? Was out so I only managed to catch the last 10 minutes. If any one did, would love to know your thoughts on the game. Was it another case of Samoa really sticking it to a big name or NZ playing poorly? Cause for concern for the Kangaroos? Thanks to Gem for providing absolutely nothing post game.

Samoa took the game to them from the first hit up and made them earn absolutely everything. unfortunately, superior fitness won in the end in my opinion. (and perenara coaching nz at times too!)

Ben Roberts made some dumb mistakes at crucial times - and i don't think Samoa kicked a single conversion.....in all they should have won imo

Was disappointed Hoffy didn't get a last chance to have a run in front of his home crowd before going to the Worriers.

Tohu was massive against the shower dodgers. Jesse was very good as well.

Loved seeing James Graham with his panties in a knot on full time, blowing up at the ref like it's his fault that Graham knocked on, ruining Engalnd's last chance :lol:
