@loverugbyleague: Italy are about to level the scores at 14-14 with a penalty from under the sticks.

@England_RL: Italy have drawn level with a penalty goal from Nasso 14 all with 10 mins remaining. Tense finish at Salford.

@loverugbyleague: Big chance for Italy as Josh Charnley knocks on on England's 20m line retrieving a kick. 2:40 for England to hold on...

Damn. If only this was a legit match and not a friendly. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

@Chrisirvine: Wretched England - famous @ITALIA_RLXIII win 15-14

@loverugbyleague: ITALY WIN. England 14-15

@England_RL: FT: It's over and Italy have beaten England 15-14. #EnglandRL #RLWC2013

@maiders11: 15-14 Italy game over. Appalling by England. #shocking

@joannalester: Haven't seen a grin that big on @ITALIA_RLXIII coach @CarloNap's face since the day #Italy qualified for #RLWC2013 in Belgrade! #rugbyleague

Well I've called all of the warmup matches the wrong way so far. Cannot believe this one though.

I am stoked for Italy. This will give them
Major confidence and hopefully we can see a few upsets in the actual cup
Too

I just hope these kind of performances by France and England don't put people off buying tickets for the real games. No disrespect intended to the USA or Italy.

Just shows the quality of the NRL really.

Yet the development England team put 50 on a stronger side than Italy before this game.

England looked like they had the mentality that they only had to turn up to win. Then when storm (I've never seen rain like it in the UK) hit it really made it a game.

England carried on like it was dry and just made too many errors. If they play like that next week the Aussies will win by 50.

Fair point about the first game

Just so you can get a gauge of how bad the storm was too...

This was at 5 in daylight!!!

This was at about 6 after the storm passed

The daylight one looks like it's the middle of the night!

Lol @ England. That's pathetic.

Call it what you want, but they lost to a much MUCH lesser nation.

Australia hasn't lost to any one other than England/Great Britain and New Zealand since 1978!! And that was France.
