Ireland vs Samoa Preview
Ireland should win without much of an issue but the handicap of 25 points looks very steep. Samoa are more than competitive and I expect Ireland to rest some key players. I’m backing Samoa to cover the +25 handicap.

- Ireland have won their last 7 matches.
- Samoa have won 2 of their last 3 matches.
Head to Head
Ireland have won six of their seven games against Samoa. Samoa’s only win came in 1996.
Ireland Form
Ireland have won their last seven matches, five of which were in the Six Nations which they won.
Currently, Ireland are among the favourites to win the Rugby World Cup and are ranked No.1 in the world. Their warm-up games have hardly caused a problem yet as they’ve beaten Italy and England with relative ease.
Ireland Injuries & Team News
Ireland have a very settled side and won’t be too worried about the length of time before their first game at the World Cup. I expect Ireland to field a largely second-string side on Saturday.
Samoa Form
Samoa are certainly a force to be reckoned with as the World Cup looms.
Despite losing to Fiji in the warm-up games, Samoa have beaten both Tonga and Japan in other games. They have a team and continuity that will concern all top nations.
Samoa Injuries & Team News
I expect Samoa to be close to full strength on Saturday.
Verdict
Samoa are a solid side with some decent results this year. I fancy them getting within the 25 point handicap.
Samoa +25
