Andy Raymond was commentating in one of the Packages for Fiji and it got me thinking that he, Vossy and warren smith would be an absolute dream team.

How good is 7mate's coverage before the game? I am continually blown away to see people talking footy, highlights from 2008 etc etc. No crap, positivity, HD. 9's must go!

Anyway, rant over. Looking forward to this. I think Rochdale will be rocking, because Fiji will blitz this.

Agreed one million percent. This is how rugby league should be covered and I hope this is a
Warning shot to nein. Channel 7 have really won me over recently with their coverage of the league, V8 supercars and deal or no deal haha

I hope this is a fast, tough, close game of footy to be honest. As Ryan Phelan said its like a mini NRL v ESL match up

 

[joshie]

Actually jealous

 

[joshie]

One of the Irish blokes is crying to the anthem. Good to see that passion

 

[whall15]

Who is this main commentator?

 

[whall15]

The Fijian side standing in a circle singing a prayer isn't very intimidating.

Feel like going for Ireland now.

 

[afinalsin666]

Here we go. Going for Fiji, the whole way. Hope they turn on the pain.

 

[joshie]

This defence haha wow

 

[Usain Bolt]

Fiji thought it was a singing competition

 

[joshie]

And I think Ireland is matching them. Good line speed from both.

 

[Big_nick]

How fast is this Fiji back three!!! God I hope they see some space

 

[umina panther]

Should of took holidays to watch all the games, listening on the radio just doesn't cut it

 

[joshie]

How about that kick!? Wow! What a way to get his team out of trouble, even if he missed the 40/20

 

[Big_nick]

I like these smaller in goals, stops the amount of kicks to produce try's IMO

 

[whall15]

The Irish can certainly kick.

 

[whall15]

Nice try there from Uate.

 

[afinalsin666]

Didn't think he'd get that. Pulls it from nowhere.

 

[RHCP]

Jeez the referee has been keeping a tiny 10 or they're just going off super early - probably a bit of both.

Decent game so far though.
