2017 RLWC FINAL - AUS 6-0 ENG @ Brisbane

[Scubby]

Ever wondered why Australia concede so few points? Hoping for a really good clean game.

 

[ed-grimley]

I'm going to miss the hakas.

Ben Stokes in for Hodgson... he should add some much needed starch to the Pom's "pack".

 

[Billythekid]

Hodgson is obviously a loss but in a way I like that team just as much on paper. Roby has been good so hopefully he steps up and has a big one. Probably puts a little more pressure on the halves kicking game.

 

[roughyedspud]

You don't have to pressure our halves for them to kick badly lol

 

[King hit]

Australia haven't won a tournament at home for 11 years. Lockyers golden year.

This is why it is harder to score a try from 10 metres than from 50 in the NRL. It's up to refs to penalise, and bin.

 

[Burns]

Come.
On.
England.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Im going for England but I think it'll be 32 - 20 to the 'Roos. The more I think about the positives for the english, the more I see that scoreline.

 

[This Year?]

I would laugh so hard if England won and it would put the biggest smile on my face, I'm used to disappointment so Australia by 30 with a Slater hat trick and the commentators giving Cam Smith a verbal gobby.

Thank f**k i won't have to hear "Ninegama" again.

The best thing about this world cup is the emergence of the pacific island nations. I hope eligibility makes the talent spread even more across the nations to make a better overall tournament.

We’ve got an Aussie in th side why do we want a Kiwi as well?

 

[Wizardman]

This isn't that bad I feel.

I think it is a very good change for England...Currie can be dangerous.

 

[Burns]

NZ Ferns just scored a great try in the Womens match, 6-4 ktc.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Simple try from a scrum play. Kiwi's go up.

Good quality first 20 minutes.

 

[Wizardman]

NZ is well and truly dominant....yet only 4 points up.

The last twice England has played Australia in Australia they have had an Aussie ref (2014 Sutton, 2017 Checcin) and haven't received a penalty in the second half of either. For some reason we have an Aussie ref yet again. Is not being 1/7 favourites and playing on home soil enough?

 

[King hit]

This could possibly be the last time Slater plays representative footy

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

The only thing that will make this final a bit of a joke is if the ref is either Australian or English.

Whos the ref by the way? This is no dig.

The same ref in the Australia miles offside picture higher up this page. Sutton.

Oh England can forget it. They will definitely not beat the Roos now. Thats shocking. Perenara shouldve been the neutral ref. Theres no WORLD to this RLWC.
