“Clearly he let go,” Parish said. “Obviously it was a dangerous position and he let go. Royce was in the tackle too. He paid some contribution to it.“They didn’t go through with it, they didn’t drive him, they placed him on the ground. Tom Burgess got up and played the ball, move on.” While Anthony Milford’s first attempt for Samoa was charged down, Crichton had no such issues – slotting over his field goal from about 30 metres out to seal a 27-26 win and send Samoa into raptures.“He has been doing that since he was young,” Samoa five-eighth Jarome Luai said.
A month after they were humiliated 60-6 by England in the opening game of the tournament, Samoa responded in incredible fashion in front of a crowd of 40,489 in London.It was a horror opening to the afternoon for the Samoans with Joseph Suaalii’s kick off sailing over the sideline on the full, although it didn’t prove costly.
