some loose passes from the aussies, it's like they just think they are going to walk through England

Seen a few forward looking passes, they don't really seem to bother too much trying to stop them.

If its' level it ain't forward.

Aussies breakthrough.

England need to start making more metres. They are kicking at halfway.

was just a matter of time that

England need half time badly.

Where's Crosby Nick, His best mate Billy Slater is playing and scoring again.

I'm his best mate.

Billy fucking Slater, I’d forgotten how much I disliked that prick and I don’t even know why.

Edit - sent that before I saw Samie’s post! Obviously the main reason is he’s too good, and Australian, and has a really punchable looking face.

10-4 to Aus

That he is mate.

I mean we're fucked if everytime we're restarting from under our goalposts.

Don't worry lads, us Irish will revenge your imminent defeat.

Ominous really. All that defending will take its toll in the end. Just have to hang in there as long as possible.

dave 5516 · « **Reply #56 on:** October 27, 2017, 11:03:54 am »

Basically attack and defence,as per. Last twenty minutes of the game is normally when we cave.

The level of intensity week in in Super League is insufficient to compete with the Aussies.

Thanks to y'all for the updates.

Mcgildrey is a tank.

Wouldn't look out of place in the NRL

Worked hard to create that opening. Big blow to come away with nothing

Rysoph76 · « **Reply #59 on:** October 27, 2017, 11:28:04 am »

England looking good at the moment. If they can get the next score could knock the aussie confidence

puroresu_kid · « **Reply #60 on:** October 27, 2017, 11:30:37 am »

Much better second half from England. They are actually making metres this half.

I've modelled my cycling legs after that Henderson's.

Nice to see we're doing better.

We've done well. But plucky losers isn't something we should be content with.

Really? He made one bad call on a play of the ball which have should have penalty in England's own 20.

If England actually got out of their own half with ball they'd be winning this.

I'm always bitter and blame the ref and my knowledge of the rules of rugby league aren't good enough to say with any certainty!!

Samie · « **Reply #68 on:** October 27, 2017, 11:48:31 am »

Well its is an Aussie ref. He's reffing with NRL rules.

Samie · « **Reply #69 on:** October 27, 2017, 11:51:59 am »

Aussies take the two. They've got this match.

Graham for England and Gagai for Australia the best players for each team.

Sounds good mate shame England couldn't quite do it

Looking like the Q/F in Darwin will be Australia v Samoa.

NZ & Tonga the top two & Samoa 3rd I reckon

Australia will win comfortably but just be good day out

Ratings in Aus for the Opener.

Quote

Last night on Australia's Channel 7 the Australia vs England rugby league match got an average 1.4 million viewers nationally (peak 2.59 million), with a capital city rating of 916,000 (Sydney 375k Melbourne 193k Brisbane 279k Adelaide 26k Perth 43k).

By contrast the Australia Wallabies vs NZ All Blacks rugby union match one week ago got only 466,000 in the capital cities

Ouch

Samie · « **Reply #78 on:** October 30, 2017, 04:28:58 pm »

Those are Rugby League cities though mate. I mean Brisbane and Queensland as a whole could be argued as the capital of League in the Southern Hemisphere.

Guess a World Cup match is bigger than what was a glorified friendly in Union too?
