Scotland v Samoa (Murrayfield KO 3pm Sun)

[Football-Tipper]

With Brian Lima, Terry Fanolua and Opeta Palepoi all missing through injury this is surely a must bet on Scotland. OK they did lose just to Argentina last week but if they can keep down the penalties I cann't see any problem in Scotland making up the -14 handicap. Selection Scotland -14 to win Bluesq 10/11 5.5pts Scotland to win by 21-25pts Bluesq 8/1 1pt Scotland Pen 1st scoring Play Bet365 6/4 2pts Stake 8.5 pts Football-Tipper :)

Re: Scotland v Samoa (Murrayfield KO 3pm Sun) U might be correct there mate, but Ive gone the other way. Took a point start multi with Tonga SA Argentina and Samoa so hoping for it to go my way here. Tonga showed last night that possible Island Rugby isnt as far behind the Northern hemisphere stuff as may have been thought. Will have to wait and see. Thinking about it more Im probably more inclinded to agree with you than with my origional bet. Maybee a cover bet is in order. GL Previous results: 2004: Scotland won 38-3 in Wellington, New Zealand 2000: Scotland won 31-8 at Murrayfield 1999: Scotland won 35-20 at Murrayfield 1995: Draw 15-15 at Murrayfield 1991: Scotland won 28-6 at Murrayfield Prediction: Not that one should write off Samoa, as Wales learnt to their peril some years ago, but we would think that Scotland would win by more than ten. Teams: Scotland: 15 Chris Paterson, 14 Rory Lamont, 13 Marcus di Rollo, 12 Andrew Henderson, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Dan Parks, 9 Chris Cusiter, 8 Allister Hogg, 7 Simon Taylor, 6 Jason White (captain), 5 Scott Murray, 4 Craig Hamilton, 3 Craig Smith, 2 Scott Lawson, 1 Allan Jacobsen,. Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Gavin Kerr, 18 Alasdair Kellock, 19 Kelly Brown, 20 Mike Blair, 21 Phil Godman, 22 Hugo Southwell. Manu Samoa: 15 Roger Warren, 14 Lome Fa'atau, 13 Alesana Tuilagi, 12 Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu, 11 Alesana Tuilagi, 10 Tanner Vili, 9 Garrick Cowley, 8 Daniel Farani, 7 Iosefa Taina, 6 Semo Sititi (captain), 5 Jonathan Faamatuainu, 4 Daniel Leo, 3 Cencus Johnston, 2 Mahonri Schwalger, 1 Justin Va’a. Replacements: 16 Loleni Tafunai, 17 Kas Lealamanu’a, 18 Leo Lafaiali'i, 19 Paul Tupai, 20 Notise Tauafao, 21 Aukuso Collins, 22 Sailosi Tagicakibau.

Re: Scotland v Samoa (Murrayfield KO 3pm Sun) Scotland -15.5(1.9 gamebookers) looks a decent bet alrite.Scotland have improved this year(beating the Babas and running the Pumas very close) and they have named a strong team.Samoa missing a few and surely the weather wont appeal very much to them particularly if the Scots get an early lead. The handicap was a bit higher than i thought it would be so i'll probably cover the 11-15 just in case.
