Samoa came out on top in the Italy game 2013, but the question by the Big Hit Rugby fans was "Why didn't Samoa do their Samoan thing". The answer came later as the game progressed when fans saw several chances for Samoa to play the physical game card, but didn't. There was even an opening for several brawls against an agitated Italian side. A Manu Samoa fan pointed out "I see whats happening, Samoa is showing another face, they have their reasons". The game ended with a score of 39-10 with Samoa winning.
