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

The kiwis may be out of the RWC but this kiwi is going to win something!!

I just remembered Japanese kicker Tamura(??) taking a lot of shots throughout their matches and they haven't scored that many tries.


Not many drop goals this tournament.

quickbeam

Even the revised scores don’t have a NZ answer. It’s a disgrace Joe!!!
