    EDIT: Just finished some really shit highlights which ended on Scotland's last try (the hands / speed of handling on the last pass was wonderful) but didn't show Barrett apparently ruining Hogg's life at the last knockings.

    The ref had cross of St George pants on (which makes a change tbf) but Cheika comes across really badly and generally seems to be a prick.

    It was the strongest side we could put on the field today, but no, plenty out injured or on sabbatical.

    Full game replays are always on youtube if you filter the search by date and length of video.

    Walmsley’s gonna have dementia by the time he’s 30 if he carries on. Saints use him as a human wrecking ball but for England it’s even worse - they just expect him to cannonball headfirst into opposition defences every single time he gets the ball.

    The highlights have just been on, and lol at Alex Walmsley rolling through defenders like an Islamic lorry. He'll have signed for an NRL team by the middle of the season.

    Plus one for Tanya Arnold.

    Key half-back Jarryd Hayne had a rare off night and they just could not exert any measure of control on the match.
    Right. I bet New Zealand threw that quarter-final to get the coach sacked, since, provided he made the right noises about CULTURE, he could have conceivably have kept going off the back of an unavoidable semi-final defeat to Australia. Then again, the entire tournament was set up for them to beat us today in Auckland, so maybe not.

    Just got home after driving by the stadium. Wasn't sure if I'd been teleported to Tonga. Houses were covered in flags and cars/flag-mobiles hooning around honking in the streets.

    Madness.

    It was just a lazy carry, like McGillvary losing it in the previous phase. I thought we were getting away with a lot of 'flat' passes all game as well, courtesy of the NRL officiating, but the second Tongan try was off the forwardest pass you'll ever see so maybe not.

    Scotland game has perked up a bit in the last chunk of that half.

    Missed all of Australia's points and the red card while seeing if England were going to be worth watching.

    EDIT: Seen the red now, what a daft thing to do.

    The haka really is absolute nonsense. High time for it to be consigned to the dustbin of history.

    @Lewis myself and Toonsend told you this was golden generation and ou chose to use it as a stick to beat me with. I’ll take my prize of pie with the 4th in the world ranking now, cheers.

    Navies is having a hell of a game. Been such a big players for Blues for a long time and I’ve been one of many doubting his international credentials but he was also one of the few bright spots vs Georgia. Shame he’s vying for a spot with Tipuric and Warburton.

    Sign the petition (it would at least bring the average weight of the signatories right down).

    Referees need to be held accountable for their choices, and there needs to be a legal process to ensure games are scored with fairness and integrity - like the old days.
    I don't know about that mate. Graeme Langlands is still seething somewhere.

    And having had to Google 'Graeme Langlands' to make sure I had the right spelling, I think he might actually have other things on his mind these days.

    The fallout if the Kangaroos lose will provide at least a summers worth of shit slinging in all directions.

    True, although they would probably just blame Wayne Bennett and/or Andrew Fifita and then send weakened teams to the Four Nations for ten years in a sulk.

    Im a Wayne man so an England win feels pretty special. Then his trolling for the rest of time will be perfect.

    They will probably just double down on the poaching tbh.

    lol at that petition.

    I’m sure The Reid Jon Wilkin is partly to blame for his comments on punditry immediately after; ‘that would definitely be a try in Super League.’

    What times the final? EDIT: 9am. Is it on BBC or did Premier Sports nab it?

    Tongan players claimed Fifita was stripped of the ball and pleaded with Cecchin to send it to the video referee, but their requests were denied.

    Kiwi sportswriter and broadcaster Phil Gifford said there was an “unconscious racist element” in not sending the play upstairs.

    I'm all for a bit of rugby league conspiracy, because Australia clearly used to go easy on us in those post-2000 World Cup Ashes series, and Cameron Smith does referee matches himself, but what exactly does the sport gain from fixing it for us to get to the final over Tonga? Putting Tonga through would have made for a miles better NARRATIVE (especially in those circumstances), and would have had tangible benefits for the island strategy they pretend to have.
