They certainly did, mate. That's why it was such a shock to see England lose the semi-final.
Australia will still probably win the final but Samoa will be no pushover.
Actually, a win for Samoa would be in the best interests of the game. Australia has been virtually unbeatable for the last 50 years whether in World Cups, Ashes series, or Tests. All are built on a hugely popular, powerhouse domestic league where the best in the world play every week.
If a little place like Samoa can beat or threaten that, it will shake the game up a bit
Things are starting to change in cricket too. Look at the T20 WC. Ireland beating England, Zimbabwe beating, Netherlands beating South Africa, Australia struggling to beat Afghanistan etc
All good for the game.
