@Bob Roberts no need for that, you just don't get it, it's not about winning or losing for a us, we are proud of our culture and heritage and for a chance to show it to the world means everything to us, Samoa coming this far is definitely a blessing in disguise, you guys won the cup but we won the hearts of many, peace to you brother
Dear friend, believe in Jesus. Doomsday is on the horizon. If you follow the Bible you will know that most all of the 1,800 prophecies has come to pass. Once the final few happen Jesus Christ will return. Jesus say, "But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?" Believe Jesus is the Son of God. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Read the Bible!
Congratulations Australia for winning the World Cup 3 X in a row and what an explosive performance by Toa Samoa in propelling themselves from a Tier 2 nation into the world cup grand final. A breath taking and envious performance by Toa Samoa ❤️👍👏
Congratulations to Australia 🇦🇺 on winning the final and kudos to the Samoa for making the Pacific Islands proud that you made it to the finals. This was my very first rugby game after watching American football for 50 yrs. Initially I thought it was chaos on the green. But as I watched it was so much more! It was choreographic passing and belly slides for the goals after that terrific tri setup! I am sorry I don't know the correct nomenclature for that tri setup but it was poetry in motion that even a Rugby newb like me could appreciate! It looks like I shall be a die hard Rugby for the next 50 yrs!
Believe it or not, but the game has actually gotten worse in recent years due to poor rule changes. The good news is that you can watch past games pretty easily on the internet.
I couldnt be more prouder as a Pacific islander! Toa Samoa you have already paved the way to come this far making it to the final. Heads up and come back strong next time. Congratulations to Auz and God bless both team!
Congratulations to australia but my hat goes off to samoa for putting themselves on the map. They truly deserved to be in the final and rightfully so. Amazing hardwork, well done!
@Christian Roots Roots! If you Call them Loser to make your Sad Soul Happy, Good on you! I am glad for you, if you have achieved major things in your life. But for a Nation just over 200,000 people, this is the first time in History of Rugby League. Tier 2 Team to get to the Final. So in that case, they have achieved something for their tiny nation. Yes, they lost on the field but they are winners in their eyes. (Not your eyes)
@poor nedhat’s your point here? You want all players to play for Australia and NZ? If that’s the case no one would give a shit about the World Cup. They’re still eligible to represent their proud heritage
Can anyone else acknowledge that Isaah Yeo had missed only one tackle all world cup. Making 40+ tackles a game and managed to miss only one in 5 games is an achievement in itself. He deserves some recognition for his defense, true definition of unsung hero
Congrats Australia! Saved their best performance for last and proved why they are the best in the world. Big props to Samoa for a brilliant tournament as well! They may not have won but the amount of publicity they have brought globally has really been a massive boost for the game. Can’t wait to see what they can do at the next world cup!
Atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic, every neutral in the stadium was right behind Samoa, fantastic half time reception for schofield and his efforts for MND and hid friend Rob Burrows, the sun shine in Manchester for both teams.
Good effort usos. You’ve given hope that other island nations can reach the finals. You gave it your best shot. Vinaka vakalevu usos. God bless you and your families. Congratulations to the Kangaroos for the win
@Raiden Jax ok mr technical I’m just referring to these countries as still developing. Bt tell me what kind of country it is then… is it first world country status? 🙄
@M bore off it's also called football by the way but given the badge on your profile you probably won't know that, there were less half and half scarves sold in the ground today than your average home game.
@Cascade376 wow we are happy with what we got cant you just be positive about it ? its the first time ever a pacific nation has ever gone that far . this will go down as samoa changed the game of international its more hype than aus winning lol
Amazing game, good job to both teams. Thank you australia for putting on a great show. And i am truley thankful for Samoa 🇼🇸 that they made this far. Im samoan and better luck next time my brothers.
Soccer is the greatest sport on Earth with over 4 billion fans and massively popular in more than 250 countries. Rugby Leaue only has 9 million fans and popular in only 4 countries. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia and Samoa by 2050 ojwf
Thank you boys that played part in every game of the tournament right up to the final. What an historic moment, couldn't be more proud of them! ♥️💯 SAMOA will acknowledge this.
Toa Samoa has made us Samoans all over the world so proud 60-6 loss and four players out in their first game ,they made a huge turn around and made the quarter, the semis first time ever ,then beat England in making the final and got the silver medal for finishing second. History has been made so proud of the players faafetai lava manuia Toa Samoa manuia Samoa
We dared to dream for our proud small Samoan nation 🇼🇸 you did us proud Toa! Thank you for carrying our dreams on your shoulders 💪 Congratulations to Australia.

Congrats Australia. 12 time world champions. Very proud of my usos for making history and overcoming setbacks to make it to the finals. A lot of people counted them out after the thrashing from England but what a turnaround after that. Truly amazing!
Australia are deserving champions. No doubt. Congratulations and the greatest respect, however, to Samoa and to all of the Pacific Island nations for their passion for this great game!
I was tipping Samoa to pull this one out infact you matched them in all areas of the game however Samoa lacked flare and was over protective of the ball and too scared in keeping the ball alive for chances that went begging..it was like watching 2 nrl clubs playing ref was also nrl...Rugby league is growing in the pacific one day the pacific tide will change that enough is enough..go Samoa Tonga & PNG you truely showed cause....just my personal world cup view
Thank you boys that played part in every game of the tournament right up to the final. What an historic moment, couldn't be more proud of them! SAMOA will acknowledge this.
👍Congrats to Australia, they have set the Benchmark 3 times in row, for other nations to aspire too. ..but Gallant in defeat for our Toa samoa outfit, as they have Won the hearts of a small island nation..just hope they have inspired the next Generation of NRL Samoan heritage players to turnout for the Blue & white of Samoa...💙❤
Congrats my country Australia.. But as an Australian, I really need to give this to Samoa. They've done their nation proud, History makers. This is just a beginning, and I assure you that the next World cup will be yours.
Was a pleasure to witness the whole event today and all the stories that went with it, Australia were ultimate pros and Samoa gave their best and never feared taking a risk or trying to keep in the game.
Congratulations to Australia on winning the final and kudos to the Samoa for making the Pacific Islands proud that you made it to the finals. This was my very first rugby game after watching American football for 50 yrs.
Congrats Australia! Saved their best performance for last and proved why they are the best in the world. Big props to Samoa for a brilliant tournament as well! They may not have won but the amount of publicity they have brought globally has really been a massive boost for the game. Cant wait to see what they can do at the next world cup!

Good on the Australian League team for winning the RLWC...but absolutely brilliant for Samoan League team to make the final...the gap between the south pacific comp is shortening, excellent guys...👏👏👏👏👏
Congratulations to australia but my hat goes off to samoa for putting themselves on the map. They truly deserved to be in the final and rightfully so. Amazing hardwork, well done!
Australia were brilliant. They were deserved victors. Samoa did stand a chance. They competed in the final. No delusion. An abundance of hope and faith in our people from and for our people should not be considered delusional. Congratulations to Australia. Samoa mo Samoa.
@D4t_L0wk3y_V1ll41n you got it wrong bro. Samoa making the finals Is a win 🏆 to us polynesians bro. Fiji n PNG is right behind samoa n tonga. I live in hawaii n I'm tongan we celebrated with everybody coz toa samoa made history. Next up an all polynesian semi final 💪 Awesome job Toa Samoa
What a brilliant tournament and what an amazing game this Rugby League is. I am hooked. Well done the Aussies and well done to Samoa who had the whole of Britain behind them.
@paddyanglais91 I just wish more RL fans would be honest and not say it was a great tournament. Some of the games were cringeworthy played in front of empty stadiums. The England / Greece game was a joke. The final was at Elland Road last week.

I felt like Samoa stepped away from what bought them to the finals, either the occasion or Australia's defence did that to them I'm not sure, what I am sure is that Samoa is now a top tier nation of Rugby League and there's plenty more to come...
Congratulations Australia for winning the world cup but A Massive Congratulations to TOA SAMOA for making history for our people and the Pacific Nations .THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING THE RISING OF THE PACIFIC NATIONS PLAYERS..
@M Nonsense. Rugby League is a far superior game. I understand McDonald's is very popular and that is pure filth. By the way it's called Association Football not soccer.

@M geez you must have no life. You comment this on every rugby league thing on youtube. I imagine you sit at home everyday with a jar of peanut butter & your cat stroking it.
Congratulations Australia for winning the World Cup 3 X in a row and what an explosive performance by Toa Samoa in propelling themselves from a Tier 2 nation into the world cup grand final. A breath taking and envious performance by Toa Samoa
I attended the final today, disappointed that England weren't in it ( but we didn't deserve to be)but still enjoyed the game.Australia proving as usual that they're the best but well done to Samoa too.Also,how do Aussie fans think that this current team compares to great Kangaroo teams of the past?

Major props and respect to the Roos for another RLWC victory and your brilliance and dominance in world cups exceeds that of the All Blacks in rugby union. Toa Samoa your play, grit and determination, far exceeded expectations in this world cup! So proud of my usos! Mate Ma’a Tonga, my tokos, surely gave an underwhelming performance this time as a tier-1 powerhouse and the second ranked behind the Aussies, but there’s always the next RLWC to look forward to as they say. PNG and Fiji will be the ones to look out for in the upcoming years, time will tell, but with this RLWC performance Samoa needs to be elevated to Tier-1. Footy is more suited to our island physicality and ways than union, I’m just saying.
I’m a Queenslander who lives in Argentina. I watch Union because there’s no league on TV here. I didn’t even know this game was on. I was watching the pumas Scotland game. At the 61 st minute my father in law asked me how much was on the clock. 10 minutes later he asked me again. 4 minutes of game time had elapsed. There was a lot of time when nothing was happening. The penalties were inexplicable… I go on the you tube and here’s the second half of this game live… what difference… give me league any day.
@uchi mata I wouldn’t say I’m embittered or frustrated… but if you want to think that’s why I prefer league to union that’s ok. I think you meant to say that league is predictable, not stereotyped. So is union. You know that in certain parts of the field certain things will happen. You know they’ll be lots of infractions. You know they’ll be lots of stoppages. Teams will predictably kick out of danger and not run. I watch a lot of rugby, and a lot of league. League’s faster. Even when the forwards are hitting it up there are always bodies in motion, creating doubt in the defensive line. In the other teams half there is heaps of ball movement.
@uchi mata maybe we need more pick and goes… they’re a visual delight. I love a pick and go followed by an inexplicable penalty. And I love fat props having a kip every few minutes.
@M All these years later I find you again saying the same words. You must truly love it so spread that word in the many Rugby League videos. I truly pity you for your lives mission. I hope you find peace in your deathbed and hopefully the last thought going through your mind wont how much you hate every single sport then Association Football. The sport you call Soccer
@Hilake Wesley Hes been on every BRvid video about Rugby League spouting the same thing from before 2011, let that sink in........that takes some dedication, I shudder to think what his personal life is like.
@Mrfunnyshoes I'm 99% sure he is Australian. He spams this BS on a heap of non-soccer/football videos. He has been doing it for years under different accounts. I love most sports, but am a soccer/football fan first and foremost, but it will never be close to being the number 1 football code in Australia or the South Pacific.

Awesome to see Samoa in this final everyone would agree, (Englishman here) but we all knew the winner before the competition started let alone before this game.
@Johnny Madafferi and Tonga Have Beaten Samoa Plenty of Times , The Fact that Samoa couldn’t Beat Australia and Tonga Did proves who really paved the Way 😂😂😂
Congratulations to Australia for wining Rw/cup grand final and congrats to png kumuls for making it to final though most of you were second grade clubs players. You made PNG proud.
Atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic, every neutral in the stadium was right behind Samoa, fantastic half time reception for schofield and his efforts for MND and hid friend Rob Burrows, the sun shine in Manchester for both teams.

I couldnt be more prouder as a Pacific islander! Toa Samoa you have already paved the way to come this far making it to the final. Heads up and come back strong next time. Congratulations to Auz and God bless both team!
Congrats Australia on winning the World Cup once again you've done our country proud! And also congratulations to Samoa for an history making performance being the first Pacific Island nation to make a final in any World Cup! Love to see it! Well done 👏🏼
