[MacDougall]

Timmy ain't no fullback that's for sure.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

This try is more legitimate than the last one

 

[user_nat]

Probably the game.

Not sure why we needed 539 replays for that.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Surprised it took England this long to hammer them with bombs (although being unable to get to the kick in the first half didn't help).

 

[flamin]

Does anyone else find the commentary lacking in... well, commentary?

 

[mxlegend99]

Haha wtf? It was fairly obviously backwards.

it landed infront of where he lost it, only looks backwards because he kept moving after knocking it on.

 

[aqua_duck]

Ben Roberts rubbish kicking game is killing samoa, killin the poms a 30m start every set

They're treating the game like a curtain raiser, which may or may not be appropriate.

 

[MacDougall]

Wooo Toa Samoa!

 

[some11]

Try.

 

[MacDougall]

Was that Josh McGuire throwing that cut out pass?

 

[Canard]

Great pass Mcguire.

 

[Apey]

it landed infront of where he lost it, only looks backwards because he kept moving after knocking it on.

This is the forward pass argument again. The ball was knocked backwards and traveled forward from where it was hit due to momentum. I admit I'm not 100% sure on the specifics of the rule, but to me it should be treated the same way a forward pass is, which I assume is what happened with this ruling.

 

[user_nat]

Out jumped by Pritchard..

 

[some11]

Was that Josh McGuire throwing that cut out pass?

Yep, had no idea he was a ball playing lock lol.

 

[user_nat]

Yep, had no idea he was a ball playing lock lol.

There was that time he chip kicked for Gillett to score. Samoa should play him at 6.

 

[Son of Minto]

Jesus christ these commentators suck

 

[Apey]

Come on Samoa!

 

[Chook Norris]

Masoe on to show England how you play league

 

[MacDougall]

That was pussy Vidot they had momentum. He should have fallen over like a pussy afterwards.
