Can anyone assist me where to find the second half online? Apparently Vera Lynn and the likes are more important.

Incredibly proud of the Cumbria team's first half performance, they've ran and tackled their hearts out.

From an England perspective Riley has been very good at full back and Westwood has been everywhere. Have to say that Sykes and Myler have been absolutely rubbish as a half back pairing.

That's because both players are rubbish.

Nothing between the two sides at the interval with the penalty, error and repeat set count all level.

Although after giving 110% in a grueling and energy sapping first forty, I expect the England players superior fitness to be a factor and have a massive baring in the seconf forty.

very unfair on Myler, tarnishing him with the same brush as skyes is total unfair

Myler hasn't let England down in any internationals and scored plenty of tries..... now sykes is a different story.

Could be an idea to have a County Championship for the players not selected for England? Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and The South?

I think it's a great gesture that England are playing Cumbria to celebrate the life of Garry Purdham and remember that lost lives in the shootings, but I think it would be better for the international game if we played the likes of Wales and France in the warm-ups.

Cumbria XIII 6-12 England XIII after 42:00 minutes.

Cumbria get the second half underway and England struggle to get out of their own half, before the rushed kick on the last tackle so the Cumbrian's don't look to be giving up.

If these fellas were commentating on a Super League game I'd be miffed, but because this is more of a celebratory, fun-times match, they're giddiness, bias and excitement is amusing to listen to.

Cumbria XIII 12-12 England XIII after 46:00 minutes.

Try: John-Paul Brocklebank
Conversion: Gregg McNally 1/1

What a try and it was orchestrated by Gardner and Purdham in a flowing 60m move.

Gardner has been fantastic today and has totally outplayed the England wingers.

BTW, the tryscorer is a young lad who plays at amateur level for Garry's former club Egremont. A great moment for the kid to score against England.

Cumbria XIII 12-18 Engalnd X111 after 56:00 minutes.

Try: Richie Myler
Conversion: Richie Myler 1/1

Well the cat was well and truly amongst the pigeons for a minute there as the Cumbrian XIII we're playing the better the Rugby League before some magic from the England side.

Not wanting to hijack this thread but if he was that good, he'd play in finals when his club get there.

Most over rated player in the game.

Cumbria XIII 12-18 Engalnd X111 after 60:00 minutes.

Credit to the men playing in black, but oh lord Steve McNamara has got his work cut out for him, because although this maybe a valuable exercise, it's been very poor with the set completion rate well below the 60% mark with some shocking and poor optional play.

Just 13 days till the New Zealand Maori warm-up game and I get the feeling we'll be royally embarrassed.

WTF!!! One of the best finishers in the game.... and has tries to prove it....

Did he play in the final?

[hindle xiii]

Sounds like a lot of dropped ball. This hopefully is just match rustiness and wet conditions underfoot. Otherwise... *gulp*

It sounds as if Will Sharp is staking a big claim to maybe join the England lads on the plane.

[Tommy The C5t]

Chris Riley drops another simple take and the Cumbrian's will have a second repeat set of six. England it has to be said look woeful.

But we've become all too accustomed to this over the years.

[hindle xiii]

LOTS OF SHOUTING ON THE RADIO!

[1976PMJwires]

So that makes him the most over rated player in your eyes , what ever.


Because Tony Smith plays "HIS" strongest team.



anyway guess its a matter of opinions and in this case Myler isn't as bad as you say.... tries and assists prove it.
