I'm Welsh and a product of the 1970's - while I like to see Wales win, I like to see other teams do well too. The south sea islander teams are blighted by having players poached by other international sides, hamstrung by the logistics of getting team members together for training sessions. But yeah it's why I like rugby - teams like Samoa can turn over one of the 'top table' sides (Japan Vs. South Africa being a more recent case.).
@@freedomnow4619 Yeah, from the 'Rugby Evangelist' side of me there is the feeling that it's good for Italian Rugby & Rugby in general. From the 'Wales' side of me there is a long sigh of resignation.
You ill find a number of the Samoan players are New Zealanders brought up in the NZ rugby system . Stephen Bachop double try scorer and Pat Lam their captain are good examples.
Was at this game, wat a feeling, wat a game. This broke Wale’s 13 game streak. Always funny to see Quinell’s swerve on Trevor Leota, he knew an accident was gonna happen!
Don't know about the crowd,but the ref was definitely biased. There is anyway going to be more support for the home team. That's part of the home advantage. But the ref was shocking. Tried his best to keep Wales from losing.
Petter fats, frank bunce, Graeme bachop, ieremia etc. that was awesome Samoa team. Sadly they ended up in Allblacks Brest is history. Island teams are now up there with the best. Look at Fiji in 2023 World Cup, just like Samoa here. ❤❤❤
The joke was in 1991 that Western Samoa beat Wales 16-13 but what would the score have been had ALL of Samoa played Wales? We got the answer with this match: 38-31!!!
Remembered had the tv set up for this 3am match.. Woke up and Australia were singing their national anthem against Romania the game after Samoa and Wales.. I was so annoyed
Great memories of this game - history sure repeated itself after Samoa did the same thing in 1991! Manu Samoa forever the bogey team of Wales but we must give Wales respect for they helped Samoa get their big break in international rugby by playing Samoa in Apia back in 1986 then allowing Samoa to tour Wales in 1988.
seeing them and the pacific brothers join super rugby and the eligibility rules going their way.. they are definitely going to upset a lot of big teams
maybe two or more if Moana Pasifika can lift off and Samoa can attract more players in their prime not has beens who are 30+ and making their Manu Samoa Debut after no other tier 1 team wants them so they go down to play for Samoa.
That Samoan kicker strikes the ball better than most players in the modern game
Feels strange to see Brian lima not being the oldest one on the pitch 😂 love it, great game💪
😁😁😁
Watched this game when I was young such a wonderful game by Samoa

The latest was Wales lost against Italy

you guys have the coolest flag and along with Tonga the coolest fans
Players are not poached.
Poaching implies that they are taken illegally.
Every player anywhere has the right to choose where they play.

Tiny Nation, big hearts ❤
One of the great Manu Samoa RWC moment
Love watching our pacific brothers they've beaten some big teams including australia
only NZ South Africa and England i *think* have not lost to the 3 pacific island teams, though I think England and South africa have come close.
@@MusMasi south Africa lost to Japan.
Iga the winger RIP
Love those Samoa jerseys
I was in school an got up early to watch this back in the day it was incredible rugby from Manu Samoa , Wales took them way too casual
Thank you for all the memories
Wish scrums nowadays would setup as quickly as they did back in the days!
and the players also wanted to keep the scrum up instead of collapsing it every 5 seconds like today
this win despite the best efforts of the crook with the whistle
Such a satisfying win when the odds are stacked against you. Ref was shocking.
The Referee did his utmost to ensure Wales won, but Samoa didnt know they were supposed to lose
Agree totally,Morrison thought the crowd payed to watch him ref,totall big head.
and Wales did their upmost to se Samoa win. Basically handed them 3 tries from nothing

Magnificent manu Samoa in front of a biased home crowd.. def WALES.
Legends of Samoa.

First time watching this game! Wow how solid were we! Awesome stuff❣️❣️🇼🇸 MANUUUUUU💙💙🧢👕👔
Great match 👏🏻
Go the manu 🇼🇸
Malo lava Samoa 🇼🇸 ❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
I remember laughing like a drain when first seeing this - it's just as funny now
Fabulous result
Wales supporters all quite well done our pacific brothers fron new zealand don't think that referee wanted samoa to winq
the referee definitely wanted Wales to win.
That game was legendary to watch back then even the All Blacks were losing so it was literally anybody's game and it still is.
the best 15 jersey ever for Manu Samoa. Not only his kicks and runs but his hairstyle as well..
Petter fats, frank bunce, Graeme bachop, ieremia etc. that was awesome Samoa team. Sadly they ended up in Allblacks Brest is history. Island teams are now up there with the best. Look at Fiji in 2023 World Cup, just like Samoa here. ❤❤❤
When scrums went quickly by - without wasting game time. The good old days!
Great game, had to wake up at 3am to watch this game
Samoa and Fiji were impressive that year
Graham Henry was the coach too
Amazing game Blue..😇🇼🇸🥥
If the 1999 RWC had the usual format instead of that playoff format they adopted Samoa and Fiji would have made it to the quarter finals for sure.
must've been a horrible feeling for the Welsh, but a glorious feeling for the Samoans.
This wasn't a upset, Samoa beat them before, rwc 1991, 95 & this one 99
and in 2007
@@fabiov8412 that was Fiji not Samoa, well at the world cup, I think Samoa beat wales again in a test match in 2012 or 2013.
The joke was in 1991 that Western Samoa beat Wales 16-13 but what would the score have been had ALL of Samoa played Wales? We got the answer with this match: 38-31!!!
I don't consider anyone beating Wales an upset. Well done to Manu Samoa though.
@@damianperera2690 at this time i agree.. but wales back then was different
Unreal
Classic game .

Repeat of that in the next year or two?

Huge game for them
the second welsh try to garath thomas looked sus they probably had no video refs back then i suppose
Wow how?? I'm watching this! How many points? 😀😀😀😀
Don’t forget the 1991 win too!!
This was Wales FIRST game in the New Millennium stadium 🏟️. 😂 A LOSS.
great
you love to see it. jenkins boring the life out of rugby. samoa smashing them. amazing.
So did italy. . CAPUUZOOO . CAPPUZZZO . CAPPUZZZO .
Pacific Island rugby has been screwed mightily by the international rugby union since these days they’ve killed the soul of rugby in the process.
he issue will always be with Pacific rugby that they don't have the economies to support professional rugby players at home.
Three of Samoa's tries came from awful errors by Wales. You wouldn't think this team beat England in the Five Nations earlier that year.
Who else is watching this in 2023😂
The best player for Wales was the ref lol
Queen elizabeth paid the refree
That second line out of Wales was clearly not straight
3.23 Any more crooked and he could of passed straight to the halfback.
I miss that old Manu Samoa logo! The new logo is Kaea!
This is an example of a
Crooked referee
i like it
How much did Howley bet on the Samoans ?
manaia le taaloga i le ata
Hello
The refereeing was just awful
Manu ra mto gata gatonja minha nossa senhora charlis
Wales beat themselves in this game - sloppy play and far too many gifts to Samoa - but it's what they made of those that counts!
😂😂😂 cry me a river
@@Cory99-f8j Just understand that I'm a Boks fan, just analyzing what transpired on the field. I like the Samoan's style of play. Peace!

That Welsh second try mmh😂😂 a lie
Gareth Thomas try was not a try so much BS
Brian lima the woman basher.
