They did have one match cancelled in the group stage. That's why I went for South Africa for a few! Their group had a few demolitions

Very surprised that Samoa got most tries. I was certain they got the most yellows too.

quickbeam

I also thought it was all RWC ever not the current one but that’s my fault for not reading the question right.

I also didn’t know one was cancelled. Meh.

sydthebeat

Most tries scored by samoa ???

stewards enquiry please ???

at the end of the pool stages (14 / 10 / 2019... when the question was asked)
SA had 27 tries in the pools, Samoa had 8

They did get most yellows and only scored 8 tries. Think that there was a glitch in the scoring Matrix but sent message to kitten.

sydthebeat

also

in the pool stages Samoa had 7 yellow cards
(2 were subsequently upgraded to red cards, but they were yellow cards within the game)
Ed fidow himself got 2 yellows in the scotland game

wales only got 2 yellows in the pool stages

so stewards enquiry here too please.

sydthebeat

also

wales got 2 drop goals against australia

SA only got one drop goal in the pool stages (against NZ)
France got one against argentina.
scotland got one, russia got one

khalessi

Well I gave it the Khalessi try
