A terrific mini-break down the right from Takudzwa Ngwenya, who we've not seen too much from today. The States are immediately caught offside though.

The penalty count continues to grow.

While AJ MacGinty successfully lands his three-pointer, it's been a mixed afternoon with the boot so far for Samoa's Tusi Pisi. He has been successful (green) with four of his five penalties, but missed (red) both of his conversion attempts in addition to his errant penalty.

AJ MacGinty makes no mistake from almost directly in front of the posts to reduce the arreas.

The United States are back to within a couple of converted tries from being head. Sounds simple written down, but not so when presented with 15 Samoans in front of you.

United States number eight Samu Manoa bulldozers his way through a couple of tackles, and the men in white and blue give away a penalty from the resulting breakdown.

Samu Manoa versus Manu Samoa. The best Rugby World Cup tongue-twister around?

AJ MacGinty will go for goal...

As Samoa are taking control, USA are having to work hard to try to stay in the game. They have made 66 tackles, compared to 59 from Samoa. But crucially, USA have missed 21 tackles, while Samoa have only missed 13.

USA coach Mike Tolkin will have been stressing the importance of discipline during the half-time break, as the Eagles have been punished after giving away several penalties.

Another America infringement at the breakdown, another penalty for Samoa, another three points for Tusi Pisi.

Following Japan's win over South Africa, we are asking was result the biggest shock in sporting history.

Send us your thoughts on this debate and the current match Samoa v USA, via #bbcsport.

USA coach Mike Tolkin won't be happy to see this graphic. The red and black circles show the eight penalties his side have conceded, in comparison to only two from Samoa (red and white circles).

It was that indiscipline that led to that second try, too.

But the Eagles are soon penalised for going off their feet at a ruck, allowing Tusi Pisi to kick for touch just outside the American 22.

USA will need more possession than they had in the first half if they are to turn this match around. Samoa had 58% of the ball and lead by six points.

The United States do make a lively start to the second period though, as full-back Blaine Scully leads an early attack.

George Clancy's whistle and Tusi Pisi's boot gets us under way once more.

For the record, Samoa are ranked 12th in the world and the United States 15th coming into this match. Will it go true to form?

Samoa's Reynold Lee-Lo needs to work on his tackling. In the first half, he attempted five tackles, but missed with four of them. 

He could learn from team-mates Sakaria Taulafo and Maurie Fa'asavalu, who both successfully made six tackles each.

However, United States' Zachary Fenoglio leads the way with seven successful tackles.

The two sets of players are on their way back onto the pitch. Let's get stuck back in.

Seamus Kelly, who set up that Chris Wyles try for the United States, tops the metres-gained chart at half-time.

More of the same will be required if the Eagles are to get back into this Pool B contest.
