Seilala Mapusua, coach of Samoa, beaten 18-17 by England on Saturday: “It was a tough game, my heart is broken for these boys. I think they deserved much more, we deserved to get a victory. We played our best rugby in this fourth match. There is a lot of work to do, we will see that tomorrow. Unfortunately, this performance was not enough at the time. We can be good competitors, but at this level, against teams like England, you need a little more of everything.
We were rather dominant at certain moments of the match, we are very proud of what we accomplished today. I think that if we had taken one more try, it would have changed a lot of things in terms of energy and momentum. By not including him, we gave England a surplus of energy. We like to see matches like this, I think it was a good opposition, we want to see matches like that. Above all, we will need time on the pitch, more matches, it is one of the main resources that we have lacked.
