Reply to comment by WickedSlice_ in Italy make history with first ever win against Australia by paloaltissimo
Like watching rugby league “World Cup” when SAMOA makes the final 😂
It’s a joke of a competition

I don’t get the comment. Are they not allowed to make the final of a World Cup after beating England to make it there?

Clearly Italy winning is legitimate but Samoa? That's where we draw the line.

Right? Borderline racist!

Don’t think it’s about race but how tiny the population of Samoa is.

So they’re not allowed to be good?

By that logic Fiji aren't allowed to be the best in the world at rugby 9s.

Nothing to do with racism you test - when your sport’s world cup has less depth than the average domestic league in pretty much any other sport (rugby league) - you don’t have much ground to stand in criticising another (union)

I suspect the dig is because the Samoa team is mainly Australians.
So the final is Australia v Australia C, or something along those lines.

Of the squad 2 were born in Samoa, 9 in Australia, 13 in NZ

Ah yeah - I didn't think of it like that. Probably fair enough.
