Jack lamb have a field day at the breakdown

Fantastic start to the second half for Samoa. A perfectly weighted grubber in behind sat up perfectly for Leiua to score the games second try.

Italy and Samoa's contrasting styles of rugby are providing for a good contest. Samoa are playing a running game and are throwing the ball around quite a bit. Italy, on the other hand are playing a more structured game based around their strong set piece. As it stands Samoa are winning out but their high penalty count is frustrating the ref which could cause them problems in the second half.

Orquera and Williams exchange penalties as Joubert is being consistent at the breakdown.

Samoa break from 60 metres through a gap in the Azzuri defence. Williams was in support and after a number of offloads he is on hand to finish off a great team try.

Parisse once again shows sublime skill off the base of a scrum, running one way and flicking the ball out the back door to Gori who attempts to launch an attack.

Italy are not shying away from the difference in weights in the pack. Samoa are almost 100kg heavier in the scrum but Italy are driving them back, earning two penalties.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of Italy versus Samoa in the Quadrangular tournament in South Africa. This match could easily be the highlight of the competition with Italy and Samoa ranked 10th and 7th respectively. The islanders powered past Scotland last week in a hugely physically match. On the other hand Italy will look to bounce back from a hammering suffered at the hands of the Springboks. Be sure to stay tuned for live updates in what is sure to be a tightly contested match.
