Photos and Social Stories from the ground look ok considering still a long time from kick off.

Hopefully like WIN Stadium last night it looks good on TV.

Strange to see the on-field branding is the Oceania Cup

Hopefully even after the clusterf**k of scheduling and admin problems we might still see a good game. If it wasn’t for the onfield product this sport would have been dead a long time ago.

Konrad Hurrell shouldn't be in the Tongan team at all... GB are gonna target him... But in saying that I'm picking Tonga the win this game

Same story every year haha
The sport keeps going in spite of itself

This is the most worried I’ve been though. Usually it’s incompetence that trips us up but I don’t think I’ve seen the sport try to deliberately limit its own success like they’ve done with this international calendar.

Whats the coverage like?
Mark Chapman presenting in Manchester with Jonathon Davies,Robbie Paul & Denis Betts...and Dave woods & Brian noble in Hamilton..

Typical stuff really......but if they say "it's 12 years since..blah,blah,blah" I'm gonna punch the TV..


And mark Chapman just called GB f**king England...fml
