Was thinking the same thing.

 

[Burns]

they'll blow themselves out soon...its fine lol

This has signs of England 2008 World Cup levels of disappointment. Is there completion rate even above 50%?

 

[thommo4pm]

Lovely hands by England.

 

[roughyedspud]

more like it boys...its easy when they calmdown

 

[thommo4pm]

England getting on top, half time is too soon for them

 

[roughyedspud]

josh maguire is gonna get boomed...that was horrible

England not inspiring much confidence. Look awfully rusty. Full credit to Samoa so far, have played well.

No warm up match which was a silly decision so its this game to get the cobwebs out

Ch9 using the A team in commentary:lol:

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

England looking, yet again, like they don't know how to settle into a game.

They'll probably go on and win but it won't inspire any confidence in me that they can cause an upset next weekend.

 

[roughyedspud]

we settled....it just took 30mins lol

Where is this Ben Roberts in the NRL?

are you telling me he can play worse than this?

 

[marv]

I dont know who is worse the ref or ben roberts

 

[Philip_Smith007]

England not looking much of a threat to Kiwis or Aussie which is disappointing, guess its only game one for them. Samoa made it very interesting.

Hopefully only the game england had to have to blow out the cobwebs. Looked very vulnerable out wide in defence and could not cope with the offloads.

On the bright side they played badly to a man and still won. Put o'loughlin at 13 if he overcomes the injury and the pack will perform much better next up.

Surely on the back of games like this the governing bodies will wake up and expand the fixtures for these nations
