2017 RLWC - QF3 - TON 24-22 LBN @ Christchurch

[Billythekid]

So proud of this Lebanese team!!

Whatever happens this second half, they’ve done our whole country and community so proud!!

Are people still saying we shouldn’t be in this World Cup?? We’ve been the best performing team the whole tournament when youu take into consideration 13 of our 17 are Amateur/semi pro players!!

Would love to see this be a bit of a catalyst for Lebanon. The local game is one of faster growing ones. Hopefully this helps the game grow locally.

Tonga's intensity definitely isn't the same as last week, but they will probably get a rocket at halftime.

Not sure England will be too concerned by what they're seeing.

What's with this forum?

Can't type L E B, and I see that LBN in the thread title has been changed lower down as lebanese.

Political correctness is bullshit.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Cop that!

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Oh O!

 

[Burns]

Awful stuff

 

[wibble]

Such a good start to the 2nd half for Tonga undone by poor ball control and discipline

 

[wittyfan]

Go the Cedars!!!

 

[Iafeta]

No try. Very very very lazy from 15.

 

[ByRd]

That is a try!!

 

[some11]

Clear obstruction, no try.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Cop that!

Bullshit you Pommy merkin.

 

[RedVee]

Boo! Video Ref

 

[Burns]

No try, but Tonga are in Huuuuuuuuuuuuge trouble

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Fair call but Lebanon looking hot at the mo

 

[TheFrog]

Very tough call. Obstruction remains a lottery in this game.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Fair enough on the no try but that inside defence from Tonga was incredibly lazy.

 

[wibble]

Player had to keep running through the line. Couldn't stop where he did

 

[mxlegend99]

Correct decision. Stopped in the line and obstructed a defender.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Tonga are doing their best to lose this...

Wonder what sort of crowd ENG v LBN would get in Auckland next week?
