Much at stake for Samoa, less for England. This Saturday (5:45 p.m.) at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Lille, the English and the Samoans will cross swords for their last match in Group D. Winner of their first three matches and assured of first place, the XV de la Rose already has the head turned towards the quarter-finals while the Pacific players have nothing to lose. In the event of an improved success, they would stay alive while hoping for an improbable draw between Japan and Argentina on Sunday to possibly qualify on points difference.
This England-Samoa duel, the penultimate poster of the competition in Pierre-Mauroy, will be followed this Saturday, October 7 live on France 2 but also with live commentary on our Figaro website.
