'13 WC | Group A | England 34-12 Fiji | KC, Hull

[Steve Davy]

Great first half

The NRL has a different rule. England have had the benefit of many calls, but Aus gain far more.

 

[tumbidragon]

lol, Home & Away is still going... Shows how long since I've watched 7.

Tyrion Lanister playing dummy half for England?

Can't be, he's not drunk and rooting a whore.

 

[Springs]

That is the stupidest rule. Whoever decided that would be a good rule is an idiot.

Was it brought in as a knee jerk reaction after Sisa Waqa's bad landing?

No. As I just mentioned it's International rules, not NRL rules.

Sinfield should have taken a shot at field goal after that penalty, not passed to the f**k-up.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Very good half, amazing what a dry track can produce

 

[Bovrick]

Tyrion Lanister playing dummy half for England?

:lol: New to Burrow I take it. His size actually comes in really useful in attack, would you believe it. Plus his acceleration is phenominal. Defensive speedbump though.

Still another half to go yet :lol:

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

If England lose this, I'm going to laugh at spud for years.

Nah just being a dickhead ;-) I've seen a bit of Burrow through the SL, Stupid fast acceleration.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Does anyone mess up a try better then the burgessesses

 

[Bovrick]

Nah just being a dickhead ;-) I've seen a bit of Burrow through the SL, Stupid fast acceleration.

Ah, no problem mate

 

[Brutus]

lol, Home & Away is still going... Shows how long since I've watched 7.

Me too. It's a station that I just never watch.

 

[NrlCoach]

So if England win this match they will vs NZ in Semi later on and if they lose its Australasia for them???

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

It's a really good show and the current writers are doing a great job. I especially enjoy Gary, a bad boy with a heart of gold who is being faced by an unexpected visitor from his past.

 

[Brutus]

Get rid of Rob Burrow and bring back Lee Jackson.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Get this mob playing the big 3 each year, there'll be a big 4 in 3 seasons.

 

[Harrigan]

Burrow should be nowhere near this England team. He is such an ordinary player who's only attribute is the ability to run at broken defences. It pains me as a Leeds fan to see him playing for us sometimes, never mind the international team.

Chase is ordinary today too. If he actually passed the ball when we have space outside us instead of holding on to it and killing the opportunities we'd be ahead now.

Fiji's defence has surprised me though. This England back line is quick but they are making them look like plodders. I still think England will score a few in the second half. It probably won't be 42-14 now but I reckon England by 18 or so :lol:

 

[tumbidragon]

Me too. It's a station that I just never watch.

Wonder if Alf is still kicking? Got used to MrDoodleburger's interpretation of his character lol.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Set up a few centres of excellence in Fiji, get a handful of talent scouts over there, and play at least one meaningful Test n Suva every year. In five years you've got the third best nation in rugby league, and they'll get their fair share of wins over the Roos and Kiwis.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Haha Alf. Australia's angry grandpa
