After getting that all important first win under their belt against the United States in their opening game, Samoa have showed already a little bit of what they're about, but if you have to bluff your way through their next few games, here's what you need to know.
World Ranking: 10
Key Player: Ofisa Treviranus. Formerly of Connacht, he now plays for London Irish, so there's a strong grá in him for the aul sod...we assume. When it comes to the power of his tackles, well, just ask Fergus McFadden.
Head Coach: Stephen Betham
RWC Appearances: 6
Best Result: Quarter Finals in 1991 and 1995
Did you know?: Winger Alesana Tuilagi is brother of the England and Lions player Manu. Keep an eye out for their pre-match war dance known as the Siva Tau too...provided it doesn't get cut in favour of an ad break.
