Fiji thrashed Italy 60-4




oh my, Scotland next

[davy67 +]

Much better performance by Scotland today, at least the result was someways respectable

[HH81]

England game yesterday was completely pointless. 20 of my mates went to game at Sheffield, five of us stayed in pub.

I got offered a freebie and just couldn't be bothered. Really can't get into this world cup.

[DaveF]

You must surely know how some of the group games will pan out? You see massive scores in the RU world cup group games too so I'm surprised you are surprised.

England are absolutely destroying PNG. Point a minute.

Thought PNG would be better than this. Very disappointing

[DaveF]

Jeez, what have they done to the NZ anthem? Sounded like some sort of garbled megamix.

[DaveF]

Good start for Fiji. 12-0 after 20mins.

[DaveF]

12-6 at HT. Really enjoyable game and hopefully just as good in the next 40.

[Scorrie]

What a great half. Rugby league at its best. Brilliant

[Scorrie]

Another try for Fiji! 18-6

[DaveF]

Fiji had their chances in that last 5 but could not capitalise. NZ win 24-18 but will have to improve 10x if they are to bother the Aussies.

Great stuff to watch.

[cabbageandribs1875]

great comeback by the New Zealanders to win 24-18


now play Australia

[Scorrie]

Tonga v Samoa is immense. The tackles are ferocious. Another great game though. Hugely competitive

[DaveF]

Another great game, Samoa meet England next week.

Tbf England were just ruthless. Did what they needed to do first half then cue on the rack.

Watched the NZ v Fiji game in Wigan town centre after going to the England game, was an absolute belter. Can’t see NZ getting within 20 points of Australia, mind.

Samoa v Tonga was everything promised and more. Sadly I had to watch it at work while my Mrs and my mates were all at the game!

On another note, Wales v USA in the wheelchairs last night was an incredible game. The skills are just unreal and I love the fact that it is somehow unmistakeably League.

Not going to either of the semi finals as I’ll be in Cambridge visiting my son (and watching the Bolton game…) but really glad I got in early for tickets for the wheelchair final a week on Friday and then the women’s & men’s final double header. Lucky that they’re both only a £2 bus journey from home.

Hearing the championship bash is in York this season.

York is a decent day out but it's not Blackpool 😄

[DaveF]

The wheelchair league is great to watch.

Amazing levels of skill and strength from all.

Makes no sense whatsoever. Glad it’s not our problem, for one season at least!

[DaveF]

What a first half of rugby league. Brilliant.

[HH81]

At last a decent game in the RL world cup. Great half.

Decent Scotland shirts for £25.00.

[HH81]

Brilliant game. RL at its best.

[DaveF]

Samoa win by golden point. What a cracking game and gutting for England.

[DaveF]

Wheelchair semi finals on just now if you need your league fix

[Jim44]

I’m watching the women’s Rugby league cup semi-final between England and New Zealand. I’m really impressed and refreshed by the commentators. The female commentators, despite an obvious bias in favour of England, are trying to be impartial, informative and really interesting. A breath of fresh air compared to the usual crap in mens’ sport.

The main commentator has done quite a few of the Championship games on Our League and Premier Sports last season. Only caught the second half so far but you can see the difference of WSL v WNRL. England missing out on the women’s final would just finish off the disappointment of the men’s semi from Saturday!

[DaveF]

Wheelchair final at HT is 14-12 to France.

Great entertainment.
