Did anyone else notice the difference in the '10' that the two teams had to retreat on their last sets?

The mighty mighty England silencing the Samoan party

English forwards doing it pretty easy. Not sure Samoa has had 2 square markers this game.

 

[THE CHAMP]

The English empire grinding these 3rd world islanders into dust with English superiority

pretty sure the highest paid player pn the field is in blue

Keep hating and looking for excuses

Wouldn't be a game of footy with a Burgi dropped ball.

Scalp to be proud of....

A Burgii dropping the ball. Well I never.

England looking very good. Phil Gould yesterday said something like "England has just 2 NRL players Zak Hardaker and Josh Hodgson" which is untrue but then he snidely says "And the rest are from the English Super League".

Very underrated comp, proven here by the touch up England have given the Samoan NRL players thus far.

Last tackle of the half, let's pass it to McGuire.

I did, about 3m difference. Doesn't matter what comp it is but the Bennett getting the game run his way.

4 point line and plenty of people were picking Samoa to win.

'Earned' himself a penalty for the previous drop.

Show me a game where the markers are square - never happens. It's like the refs have forgotten it's a rule.

Haha. Didn't really mean it like that.
Meant more that with the way England are rolling up the field, Samoa usually have someone left behind or struggle to get square.

What like Heigho and McQueen????

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Lets not forget Samoa has never beaten England in league.

Samoa making their own errors and their attack is not that good in terms of organised play.

England playing well.

What like Heigho and McQueen????

Couple of good English boys

I actually think it's a joke that Chris McQueen is playing for England just like it's a joke that Manu Vatuvei played for Tonga.

I'd really like to see it be wherever you're born is the country you're with instead of Origin players turning out for Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.

Alternatively, you can only ever play for one team so if you're 18 and pick to play for Papua New Guinea that's who you're with until you retire.
