I'll be getting up in the morning to watch the match as live although I don't think I'm going to be up at four to take in the Samoa vs Tonga game that takes place before the Australia vs Papua New Guinea Four Nations clash.

Without question the Kumuls have the toughest start to the 2010 Four Nations so what can we expect from them, as they face off against Kangaroos at Parramatta Stadium.

Well for starters the pressure is on Australia with the big expectation of the home supporters, but for Papua New Guinea there is none, so they can just go out there and do there best, play with the passion and the pride and try their best ability wise to match Australia over the eighty minutes and contain that lethal Australian backline featuring the likes of Slater, Tonga, Boyd, Morris etc. . . .

I expect the PNG front row to hold there own in the forward battle but the fitness is a worry for mine.


Sadly despite some superhuman effort from 1 to 17, Papua New Guinea won't be strong enough for Australia and I see a similar score to that of the New Zealand vs England game.

So I'll call Australia to win by 18-22.

Shan't be bothering to get up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday morning just for an easy Aussie win - will probably catch the last 20 minutes or so.

It's raining and isn't likely to stop here. So I think that might help PNG stay in it a bit. Hopefully there will be only a few tries in it.

It really is an unsightly hour to be getting up on a Sunday morning. Come on PNG show these Aussies they're underestimating you!

[edit] Oo!! That Angel is a bit fit, like. Those Aussies love p'ing about with their National Anthem.

Well it's not on the BBC at the moment Mick, maybe later on. Do Sky have the live broadcasting rights for this one? You maybe need to change the thread title.

6-0 Aussies, somewhat fortunate with a lucky bounce from a kick.

The first tryscorer was Slater.

Kumuls flying into every tackle but giving the odd penalty away. Also failing to find touch with a penalty award, then spear tackling Lote Toquiri with the kick return.

They're making their own problems here, more penalties going the Aussie's way.

BBC 2 Nationwide? Possibly not Scotland & NI?

[edit] Really good try but I'm liking the PNG tackling (not the mistakes but they can be ironned out).

Having put the BBC coverage on and heard Ray French's commentary, it's back to the live streaming with Ray Warren, Sterlo and co for me.

No luck at all for PNG, "They've come with a bagful of mistakes" according to Warren.

20-0 afetr 23 minutes.

[Dave T]

This is like a BBC production from 20 years back with absolutely dire commentary and horrendous production (replays are ###### etc.)

Ray French please retire.

[Old Frightful]

Sod off. I was up at 4.30 yesterday morning before travelling across to Huddersfield for the game.

I have my excuses!
