England watch

England's defence looked paper thin at times up the middle and Australia made easy in roads

I thought the back 3 for England were great . Roby was great when he came on and Hodgson was great playing at half. Hill was probably England's best forward buy they lacked go forward each set. Not enough fast and agile big bodies pushing through the middle.

Also, Klemmer singlehandedly tore the English pack up

Agreed, it's a shame klemmer the big dopy prick couldn't do it once for the dogs this year :mask:. But England's line speed in D was horrible, not fit enough. Australia rolled over them every set, England looked good off second phase and spreading it wide for those good outside backs they have. You won't beat Australia at Australias game.

Some soft tries in the First half for Australia helped them win it. England played well in the 2nd half and were very respectful for Australia as opponents. Even with losing Sam Burgess in 1st Half England could trouble Australia.

Silly mistakes cost England and their finishing didn't help either. Great start to the world cup and cant wait for the rest of the games this weekend!

Not sure why they picked a place in Newtown but I thought I would share it here anyway.

Great welcoming event in Perth tonight. Plenty of england fans in attendance and the players from all 4 nations were great with the fans. Very well put together event. Would have been better Friday night when the city's full though.

THE Kangaroos have been crossing paths with the old enemy, staying in the same hotel as the English cricket side in Brisbane.

Aaron Wallace’s 2017 Rugby League World Cup bus tour.

FOX Sports statistician Aaron Wallace and 13 devoted rugby league fans were not about to let a broken-down minibus ruin their World Cup.

The man affectionately known as Wally had driven to Melbourne, Canberra and all the way to Perth and back when the gearbox in his minibus surrendered on the side of the road in Point Fairy, just outside Warrnambool in country Victoria.

“As I organised a hire bus for the final two days to get us back to Sydney, the rest of them, mostly Poms, went to the pub and got drunk,’’ Wally said. “It’s been a lot of fun. If only the bus was as reliable as my almighty Sydney Roosters.’’
